Notes
'Tetsukabuto' hubbard squash (Cucurbita maxima 'Tetsukabuto') 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 adaptable, productive, and long-storing. The climbing vines grow rapidly and bloom from early to late summer, so give them plenty of room.
Pairs well with Gimlet cucumber, Dolce Fresca basil, and Black Beauty Tomato tomato.
