Cool! Did you plant them or are they wild? I would like to grow some, so tips are welcome. You need special soil, right?

my parents planted them years ago (2 bushes). the rest have grown off the root system of the original two. we are dividing them this season in the fall. as far as the soil...my mother never did a huge amount of amending the soil. i know she would fill the hole with cow manure and maybe some peat moss thouroughly mixed together and she watered like crazy for a week or two. that was it. good luck, they are a fun fruit to grow.
here are some updated pics...tomatoes and zucchini are growing well as are the yellow crook neck squash. my pole beans are taller than the trellis and more blossoms on more plants each and every day.
Thanks for the pics. We hope to have some of our own up in a few days.
I hope you like these:
