| Also known as a "Bumpkin." We had limited success in 2007 with these but enjoyed the taste of the couple we tried. We suspect the wet August did prevented them from finishing for us. Each of the following years found us trying this squash again and having difficulty with cool, wet summers. We're going to give it one more go in 2010. We try to grow many varieties just in case the weather one year favors some kinds versus others. We suspect this one will do well in a warm dry year. Signs pointed to an excellent crop in 2007 until the heavy rains in the fall. |

| Long vines with unique warty squash. Great conversation piece.
Excellent smooth silky flesh is delicious as vegetable side dish or cooked into pies. |
