Tromboncino Squash (Zucchetta Rampicante)

60 to 80 days - In the same species as butternut squash, this has a firm and dense flesh with a pale green skin. The fun of growing it is its almost absurdly long shape, like a dipper gourd, but it is also great for eating! As with other butternut type squashes, the seed cavity is in the bulb end, and has a mild nutty sweet flavor. Can also be harvested when immature to be used like a summer squash. Grow on a trellis for straight fruit, otherwise enjoy the curled shape when grown on the ground.

Each packet contains 2 grams, which is about 15-20 seeds.
