Zuccuri Kabocha Squash
110 days. Cucurbita pepo. With the sweet nuttiness of a chestnut and the texture of a Sweet Potato, this unique Japanese Kabocha-type Squash is dryer than most, and its sweet, bright orange, beta carotene-rich flesh melts in your mouth when roasted. Delicious! The deep-green-skinned Squashes should be cured for several days before use, and can store well for up to three months. (F1.)

- Information
There is something extraordinary about the aroma of baking Winter Squash, bubbling with butter and brown sugar. Sun-loving Winter Squash is best direct-sown in well-draining, fertile, 60°F soil, two weeks past the last spring frost date. Plant them with plenty of elbow room since they love to ramble. Squash is simple to grow and transforms easily into nutritious, heart-warming dishes: soups, gratins or sumptuous Thai or Indian curries. Squash requires fertile soil and room to stretch in hot sunshine. Harvest with a sharp blade when skin is hard and the mature coloration appears, leaving some stem. Cure in the sun for ten days or in a dry room for five days. Properly cured Squash, kept cool and dry, keeps all winter long. Bee friendly. Deer resistant.
Average seed life: 3 years.
