| (Cucurbita pepo) Excellent stuffing squash, much better than regular acorn-types. In my climate, this cultivar produces very short vines, which saves space. It is very dependable and yields fruit even under very poor conditions, such as non-irrigated 4.2 pH sand, although yields will be much greater when grown in composted manure. Very tolerant to disease and bugs, including slugs and snails. |
