Notes
'Sweet Mama' squash (Cucurbita 'Sweet Mama') 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. Its flowers open from early to late summer. Wait to plant it until the weather has warmed and the last frost has passed.
Pairs well with Diva cucumber, Ghost pepper, and Salad burnet.
