Notes

'Kindred' squash (Cucurbita 'Kindred') 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. It blooms from early to late summer. Wait until the last frost has passed before you set it out in your garden.

Pairs well with Margarita cucumber, Ghost pepper, and Holy basil.
