Notes
'Waltham' squash (Cucurbita 'Waltham') is a vegetable for the food garden. It is typically grown as an annual. Frost will kill it, so set it out only after the last frost in spring. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, loamy soil. It is a vine that blooms from early to late summer. The seed is open-pollinated, and the fruit takes about 110 days to mature.
Pairs well with Cranberry bean, Dark Opal basil, and Ghost pepper.
