Delicata offers cream‑colored fruits with green stripes and sweet, nutty flesh you can eat skin and all. Introduced in 1894, it almost vanished until home gardeners revived it. Compact vines set early, personal‑sized squash that roast in under an hour. High in fiber and beta‑carotene. Direct sow after frost, cure briefly, and enjoy through winter—though you’ll probably eat them first.

How to Grow

Start seed indoors 3-4 weeks before transplanting into the garden. Optimum soil temperature for seed germination is 65-85 degrees. Transplant to the garden 2 to 3 weeks after your average last frost. Or, plant seeds directly in the garden 1-2 weeks after average last frost date. Sow 3-5 seeds per hill, thinning to a final 2-3 plants per hill. Winter squash grow best in a warm site with full sun. Warm soil is essential to good seed germination and emergence. Using transplants can speed production.
