Notes
'Mambo' kabocha squash (Cucurbita maxima 'Mambo') is a vegetable for the food garden. It is typically grown as an annual. It cannot take cold, and a freeze will end its season. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, loamy soil. It is a rapid, climbing grower that bears green blooms from early to late summer. The squash is ready to pick about 95 days after planting.
Pairs well with Suyo Long cucumber, Popcorn shoot, and Lime basil.
