Notes
'Sweet Jade' kabocha squash (Cucurbita maxima 'Sweet Jade') 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 climbs and grows at a rapid pace, so give the vines room or a sturdy support. Green flowers open from early to late summer.
Pairs well with Marketmore 76 cucumber, Purple Ruffles basil, and Mountain Magic tomato.
