Conn. Straightneck squash

Garden uses

Notes

'Conn. Straightneck' squash (Cucurbita 'Conn. Straightneck') 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, and it blooms from early to late summer, so plant it after the last frost in a spot that stays sunny all day.

Pairs well with Scotch Bonnet pepper, Cannellini bean, and Creeping thyme.
