Notes
'Delicata JS' delicata squash (Cucurbita pepo 'Delicata JS') is a vegetable for the food garden and for covering ground with fast-growing vines. 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 grows rapidly and bears cream and green blooms from early to late summer. Give the vines room to spread.
Pairs well with Pineapple Tomato tomato, Lime basil, and Fernleaf dill.
