| I have grown Lakota for many years, first seeds from Stokes. This is a reliable grower, but a space hog. I dbl-crop in late June after potatoes or coles, and harvest in late October. Some years I let it ramble along edge of woods with half-day sun exp. I keep it mulched well and handpick beetles. We love the taste/texture in any squash/pumpkin dish. Stores well in the garage along a shared house wall. I cook them up in late Dec and freeze the flesh once I have room in the freezer. |

| I grew this for a couple years at my summer place
near the MN, SD border on a lake once inhabited by
the Lakota or Sioux Indians.
A very beautiful squash with a non squash taste,
most people have described it as tasting like a
buttered potato.
The big drawback is it takes up a large area with it's
foliage and gives very little yield.

| A small squash developed by Seminis to resemble a squash grown by the Lakota tribe (Sioux). A nice ornamental, but very average in other aspects. |
