Notes
'Autumn Delight' acorn squash (Cucurbita pepo 'Autumn Delight') is a vegetable for the food garden and for covering ground with its sprawling vines. It is typically grown as an annual. It is tender to cold, and the first hard frost will kill it. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, loamy soil. It grows at a rapid rate and gives a high-yielding crop of classic acorn squash. Green flowers open from early to late summer.
Pairs well with Gimlet cucumber, Dolce Fresca basil, and Berkeley Tie-Dye Pink Tomato tomato.
