Savvy gardeners know that flowers from plants in the squash family make flavorful fare. Remove only the male blossoms—those with thin, trim stems—if you'd also like to harvest some squash. You'll find these to be a treat that's tender on the inside and crisp on the outside.—Lynn Buxkemper, Slaton, Texas
