Dark green, ribbed winter squash with sweet yellow-orange flesh. Compact bush plants make it ideal for smaller gardens. Excellent baked with butter and brown sugar.
Direct sow after danger of frost passes. Bush varieties fit in tighter spaces than vining types. Harvest when skin is dull and hard — fingernail should not pierce it.
