Notes
'Black Bellota' squash (Cucurbita 'Black Bellota') is a vegetable for the food garden. It is typically grown as an annual. It cannot take cold, and a freeze will end its season. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, loamy soil. It grows as a bush and blooms from early to late summer. It resists powdery mildew, so it stays healthier through the season.
Pairs well with Jimmy Nardello pepper, Clemson Spineless okra, and Honeoye strawberry.
