Notes
'Cha-Cha' kabocha squash (Cucurbita maxima 'Cha-Cha') is a 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. This climbing squash grows at a rapid rate, so give the vines room to run. It is grown for flavor and storage.
Pairs well with Black Beauty Tomato tomato, Gimlet cucumber, and Lime basil.
