This winter squash is very similar to the sweet dumpling squash. The only difference is the size! Delicata is a large winter squash around 1-3 pounds each and can be stored for months still staying fresh. Vines produce 8-10 fruits per plant. The squash is smooth, creamy, and sweet. A classic old variety is grown for centuries. This style of squash is one of the oldest datings back almost 3,000 years!
But Mrs. Squash Bone Borer insists on finding my vines no matter what. I'd love to succeed in growing these to fruit production.
I wanted to grow a bunch of different types of squash and Delicata was one of the varieties that I was interested based on looks. When I got a nice ripe one, I cut it up into slices, seasoned it with a little garlic and just baked it. Way better than chips, and super snackable!
Easily germinated. Easily grew. It stuck its nose up at the chicken-wire trellis, and preferred to sink its feet freely into the ground. Who can blame it?
I didn't have as much squash as I would have liked, but they were delicious & sweet. Need to plant them in a sunnier location next year..and plant more.
Sweet and yummy. I covered with wire mesh to protect from critters. One of my favorite winter squash.
