WINTER SQUASH
Cucurbita maxima, unless noted.
Blue Ballet
Heirloom. Slate gray smooth skin with sweet and buttery vivid orange flesh. Think Blue Hubbard, only smaller, 4 to 6 lbs. At least two per vining plant. OP
Sweet Meat
Heirloom. Sweetest of all winter squashes, a large Blue Hubbard similar to Blue Ballet but 10 lbs. or more. Excellent keeper.
Delicata
Orange flesh in cream-colored fruits with dark green stripes, 7”-9” long. Sweet and excellent for stuffing & baking, even right after harvest, curing not needed. C. pepo
Delicata Bush
Plumper than Delicata & weighing the same, also good for stuffing. Grows on semi-bush vines. .C pepo
