Notes

'Gold Nugget' squash (Cucurbita 'Gold Nugget') is a vegetable for the food garden. It is typically grown as an annual. It is not cold-hardy and will not survive freezing temperatures. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, loamy soil. It blooms from early to late summer, so you will see flowers for many weeks. Wait to plant it outside until the danger of frost has passed.

Pairs well with Carmen pepper, Dark Opal basil, and Lemon cucumber.
