Black Beauty squash

Garden uses

Notes

'Black Beauty' squash (Cucurbita 'Black Beauty') is a bush vegetable for the food garden. 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 is open-pollinated, so you can save seed from year to year. Fruits are ready to pick in about 60 days, and the plant blooms from early to late summer.

Pairs well with Pepperoncini pepper, Suyo Long cucumber, and Basil.
