Even with the problems we had with the squash borer and rodents, this has been a very productive squash. We would recommend this variety, if someone wants to grow this type of squash. Small gardens, however, may have issues with the rather rampant vines.

Nice compact vine with 2 or 3fruits per vine. Direct seeded in late May and started to harvest 8 inch fruits in the middle of August. Very sweet taste. Unfortunately the yield ended in late August due to squash vine borers.

The plant grew well under row cover. No problems with insects; powdery mildew started near the end of August. Two large squash produced on one plant. I followed the directions for "al dente" spaghetti squash, but it came out mushy. This is not a substitute for pasta, but it is a novel type of squash.
