The bright orange skin and deep golden flesh make it both attractive and delicious, perfect for baking, roasting, or stuffing.

Winter squash thrives in warm weather and rich, well-drained soil. Sow seeds directly outdoors or transplant starts after the danger of frost has passed. Provide ample space for vines to spread, and keep soil consistently moist during growth. Harvest when the rind is hard and fully colored, and allow fruits to cure in a warm, dry place for improved flavor and storage life.
