Overall Taste Yield Ease	Dane, Wisconsin, United States Frost Free Season: 143 - 163 days Soil Texture: Clay Garden Size: Medium - 400 square feet to 1,600 square feet Sun Exposure: 6 to 8 hours per day
08 in WI was wet until July. spring temp lasted til Aug Two vines gave me four gords I tied them to giant sunflower and allow the vine to interweave. No problems from pest or mildew, fruit developed uniform and 10 plus #'s. Flavor was vary bland and I didnot enjoy it by theirself but was nice in a porage dish. I was told winter squash requires a frost to increase flavor.
