| Of all the buttercup varieties of winter squash that I have grown over the years, Bonbon, a 2005 AAS vegetable selection, has the sweetest flavor and the most buttery texture. The squash average about four pounds. The seed cavity and turban are not especially large so that there is a good quantiy of flesh. A very desirable feature is its relatively short vining habit. Grown on a fence, this variety will not take up very much valuable garden space. |
