| My vines were decimated by squash bugs. They produced three large pumpkins, but the fruit never had time to truly ripen and cure. The pumpkins were a beautiful slate green, as advertised, but I now cannot plant squash due to the extreme overproduction of squash bugs. |

| Even with last years drought, this variety was my best producer. It made very good pies and has a nice bright orange interior. It also had a good shelf life. |

| I haven't cooked up my two squash from this variety yet so I'll adjust my rating soon when I do.
I really struggled with squash bugs and this plant. The bugs literally loved the plant to death. They sucked the very life out of it! They plant did not withstand this infestation very well at all. It produced two tiny blue grey fruit each weighing between 3-5lb. The fruit turned from blue to a beige orange with a week's hardening the skin in the sun. I'm making Tortellini Pumpkin Alfredo in the next couple weeks so I'll let you know how it tastes and looks inside. |
