Notes
'Uchiki Red Kuri' squash (Cucurbita 'Uchiki Red Kuri') 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 blooms from early to late summer. The fruit is ready about 100 days after planting, and the seed is open-pollinated, so you can save it.
Pairs well with Jimmy Nardello pepper, Thai basil, and Lemon cucumber.
