Best compact winter squash for home gardeners and market growers.
This scaled-down winter squash delivers a sweeter, more manageable harvest than the standard Blue Hubbard. While its vigorous vining habit demands significant garden real estate, it doubles as a brilliant trap crop to protect your other cucurbits from beetle damage.
