Yummy and versatile
by Wildflowerri
The best versatile squash! We love it cubed and roasted. Better than sweet potato fries. Excellent in frittatas. Stores well. Turns orange in storage. I’m planting a larger crop this year. My husband who hates all squash is amazed he loves it.
Easy and delicious

Easy to grow, productive, and tasty. Outperformed both zucchini and Delicata in our zone 6b garden. Does spread like crazy, so give it space. Like Delicata, doesn’t require peeling. Will plant again.
