An excellent choice for CT. Great taste, prolific and the roasted seeds are far better than roasting pumpkin seeds |

Best winter squash I have grown. Very vigorous vines up to 20\' long with butternut squash up to 10 lbs. Average squash is 5 to 6 lbs. Excellent rich, sweet taste. If you spray regularly with daconil they will keep setting fruit and ripening squash right up to a killing freeze. Give them lots of water. Leaves will wilt in mid-day sun but firm up with some water. |
