It is a vigorous vine plant that produces oval fruit with thin, glossy, light green skin and flesh that is similar to zucchini. They are ready to harvest as soon as 8 days after flowering. Ripe fruits measure about 4" in diameter and 5-6" in length and weigh about 14oz. The Cucurbita moschata vine-type plant is a vigorous grower.

Cultivation: Squash prefers warm temperatures. Prepare fertile, well-drained soil. Sow seeds in spring/summer after last frost in a warm, sunny location. Hill planting: Form soil into a 1-ft. diameter mound 3-4" tall. Space mounds 3-4' apart. On each mound plant 1-2 seeds. Row planting: See spacing info in chart. Keep soil moist. Fertilize as needed. Train to climb a vertical support for better air circulation and ease of harvest or leave to sprawl on the ground.
