Notes
'Uconn' squash (Cucurbita 'Uconn') 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. Wait for the weather to warm in spring before you set it out, and plan to finish your harvest before frost arrives.
Pairs well with Marketmore 76 cucumber, Ghost pepper, and Holy basil.
