Notes

'Lunch Lady' squash (Cucurbita 'Lunch Lady') 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. It blooms from early to late summer, so flowers appear through the warm months. Check the plants often once the blooms open.

Pairs well with Green bean, Scotch Bonnet pepper, and Holy basil.
