JosephsGarden's Squash, Moshcata Landrace, Small Sized Fruits Seeds Seeds x 1
Plant: Winter squash (Cucurbita moschata) |
A landrace of moschata squash. Contains butternuts, necked-butternuts, and pumpkins. Lots of variation in fruit shape. Mostly selected for small sized fruits and tan skin. Selected for flavor and deeper orange color. Some of the ancestors of this seed came out of the amazingly genetically diverse Long Island Seed Project. Other ancestors are modern hybrids and old-time favorite heirlooms.
These have been intensively selected for short season. The 2010 growing season was 88 days long, and all of these seeds are descendants of those plants. It sucked to have 75% of my butternut crop fail to produce mature fruit, but is sure is a great way to select for earliness. The 2012 growing season had 84 frost free growing days.
