Maybe you wouldn't mind it so much if you planted it next to zucchini - they crossbreed since they are from the same family. You get yellow squash with green stripes. They do have a different texture to the "meat"- especially if it's over-cooked. My mom always sliced the yellow squash, coated it in a thin pancake batter like mix, then fried it quickly so it wouldn't get soggy inside.
I remember you saying that you remove the seeds in another thread and I'm definitely going to try it that way. That just leaves way too many seeds to plant next year so I guess the chickens will enjoy them instead.
You can always roast up like you would pumpkin seeds. Makes a great healthy snack
I don't eat pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds either. That's way too much like work. The chickens need to eat too. Nothing is a waste if it feeds one of my animals. I carry a bowl of scraps out of my house at least once a day and no matter where they are, they know I have something in my hand and come running.
