Lake Valley Squash (Summer) Cucuzzi

Whimsical snake-shaped fruits are botanically gourds but are eaten like squash. Let vigorous vines grow over a trellis or arbor so the fruit can hang straight. If grown at ground level, fruit may curl into interesting shapes. Wonderful grilled, baked, or used as fall decoration.

Details:

• Seed Depth: 1″ (25mm)
• Plant Space: 24″ (61cm)
• Row Space: 5′ (1.5m)
• Sprouts In: 5-10 days
• Plant outdoors in full sun in late spring after soil has warmed. Germinates poorly in soil temperatures below 70 degrees F. Provide a trellis or support at planting if desired. Squash prefers fertile soil and even moisture. Feed at planting with a complete, organic fertilizer.
• Flavor is best when fruit is harvested young, at 8″ long and 2″ diameter. Pick frequently to keep plants producing. Older fruit over 8″ long can be roasted like eggplant.
