An incredibly easy and delicious squash to grow, the delicata is easily stored in a cool place all winter. First introduced in 1894 by Peter Henderson Company of New York. We love to add salt, oil & bake. Original seed from Fedco Seeds, MN.
Sow: Indoors 2 weeks before last frost or direct seed after last frost 1’’ deep. We prefer to direct seed because the roots are less disturbed and they are better acclimatized. Harvest : When fruit is ripe and leaves have turned brown [icons]
