Notes
'Bush Delicata' squash (Cucurbita 'Bush Delicata') is a vegetable for the food garden. It is typically grown as an annual. Frost will kill it, so set it out only after the last frost in spring. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, loamy soil. It has a compact bush habit and blooms from early to late summer.
Pairs well with Garlic, Celeriac, and Clemson Spineless okra.
