| SUMMER SQUASH
Many of these are also used for winter too! The species is C. pepo on all squash listed here, unless otherwise noted. 20 seeds + per packet. Summer Squash are grown for immature fruits which can be harvested all summer long. Very heavy feeders, they need soil heavily amended with manure, compost, or other source of lots of nutrients. Sow in place in full sun after last frost; or start a couple weeks earlier indoors, but never let squash transplants become rootbound, and do not disturb the roots in transplanting. Seed are sown up to one inch deep. With the exception of Zucchino Rampicante, summer squash are bush-type (non-running) plants that may be grown 4-5 feet apart.

Kamo Kamo
New!
The ethnic heirloom pumpkin of the Maori people of New
Zealand; it is also known as Kumi Kumi pumpkin. New Zealanders
say this is the best of all squash, for the young fruit
can be boiled, fried or baked, and they have a rich, nutty flavor
that is quite delicious. Let the green speckled squash ripen,
and they are good as a winter squash. They have become
rare even in New Zealand. Pkt (15 seeds)
