Great germination. 4-5 Kabochas per vine. Deer and bugs didn’t bother them. I planted mine on June 1st which was a mistake because they were ready in September and they need to be stored cool, but not in a fridge, so I had to eat a lot of squash in November before they spoiled. Delicious. |

We love this squash. Winter squash varieties seem to very a lot year-to-year so we always grow several types and this one is really delicious. Likes growing on the fence. Usually stores pretty well. |
