Notes
'Tuffy' acorn squash (Cucurbita pepo 'Tuffy') 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 grows at a rapid rate and blooms green from early to late summer. Gardeners grow it for baking.
Pairs well with German Johnson tomato, Dolce Fresca basil, and Fernleaf dill.
