Notes
'Sweet Mama Kabocha' squash (Cucurbita 'Sweet Mama Kabocha') is a vine 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 is a hybrid that matures in about 85 days. The plant blooms from early to late summer, and its vines need room to sprawl.
Pairs well with Cajun Belle pepper, Dark Opal basil, and Egyptian walking onion.
