Notes

'Hamilton' squash (Cucurbita 'Hamilton') 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. The vine blooms from early to late summer and needs about 100 days to reach maturity.

Pairs well with Carmen pepper, Diva cucumber, and Creeping thyme.
