Notes
'Spaghetti Squash' (Cucurbita pepo 'Spaghetti Squash') is a vegetable for the food garden and for covering ground with its fast-growing vines. 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 in early to late summer. The fruit is grown as a classic pasta alternative.
Pairs well with Green bean, Purple Ruffles basil, and Clemson Spineless okra.
