Vegetable garden question! All my squash flowers are gone! Why steal them???

Question

I went out to pick tomatoes, peppers and a few squashes this morning, and all the peppers were gone as were the squash flowers...not the actual squashes...just all the flowers, probably 40 or more. I have had not problem with rabbits, squirrels...this was the devious work of people, I have no doubt!

Why would anyone want squash flowers--please tell???

Answer 2

The flowers are edible and not so easy to come by seeing as most grocery stores don't sell them.  People shouldn't steal though.

Answer 3

Let me say first of all I am so jealous of your garden as I didn't put mine in this year after last year's lack of rain and the terrible heat yielded little to nothing.

I wonder about the flowers. Very odd for sure.

Answer 4

I really think that you have a new rodent ,  why would someone ,,, it makes no sense at all

I am so sorry, that just seems so mean

put out some rat traps and see if you can snag something , or someones toe!!!
