Yellow squash flowers bloom

This is summer Squash .Yellow Squash flowers bloom on yellow summer squash. These flowers are not only beautiful to look at; they are functional as well. Both squash and yellow Squash flowers have been a nutritious part of the diet in many cultures for hundreds of years. 

You can eat squash flowers raw in salads or battered and fried. In Bangali families, squash blossoms are eaten stuffed in pakoras.

 I became nostalgic, wonderful huge plant with huge flowers. Iv remembered my childhood in the Jamnagar. Those garden squashes of our house garden. Bose aunt frequently asking for yellow squash blooms for pakoraas...the squash curry yammy with missi rotties in summer.I guess even the whole creeper is the same

something(proverbs about rain.

There are proverbs about distribution of rains during the year.

Four month do not need even a rain of gold (mid November to mid- December, chaitra(mid-March to mid-April),vaisakha(mid-April  to mid-May) and jyestha(mid-May to mid June). Except for these four months, rain is desirable in all the other months of the year.

For some unknown reason people except the monsoons to break over  Bombay by tenth of y June. The onset of winter rain is calculated as following a hundred days after the end of the summer monsoon.

Despite the summer rains being monsoon, it is the short winter rain that Haryanvi farmer prizes more.’ winter rain is gold, hadha (June -July) rains silver, and sawan-bhado (July-September), mere copper, says a proverb. ‘If there is a spell of rain in margasirsa(mid-November to mid-December) the wheat will have healthy colour. there are parallel proverbs instructing farmers what to do during winter monsoon months:’if you do not plough your land in hadha you will be like a dry swan and a child who learnt nothing to school.’ if it rains on Diwali (the festival of lamps that falls early in November) the sluggard will be more abundant.’
