95 days to harvest Cucurbita pepo

Delicata squash is divine though the long, sprawling vines of full-size winter squash can make it difficult to grow in small garden spaces, raised beds and container gardens. Cornell’s Bush Delicata to the rescue! We’re thrilled to share this seed of Cornell’s Bush Delicata, growing to the marvelously manageable size of a zucchini.

Cornell’s Bush Delicata also has resistance to Powdery Mildew making your harvest that much more abundant. We are so grateful for the countless generations of indigenous seedkeepers who have made it possible for Cornell’s public plant breeding program to share such brilliantly adapted seed for short seasons. Cornell’s Bush Delicata is always our first winter squash to ripen, its delectable flesh is surrounded by thin, delectable skin. Enjoy every bite!

Would you love to receive these seeds? Rather than selling and shipping, we share seeds as an embodied gift practice.
