The winter squashes represent the generous bounty of the garden ~ we love how they are built to last and will store for a long winter's good eating!
Here are our favorites, with an emphasis on some of the rare old heirlooms that need to be preserved! These first three are Ark of Taste selections, too:
Amish Pie Pumpkin: perfect pie pumpkin, can grow quite large, keeps very well.
Boston Marrow: Native American heirloom named to the Ark of Taste for its exceptionally flavorful orange flesh.
Green Striped Cushaw: another Native Americam heirloom, very popular at market for its elegant coloring and crookneck shape.
Italian Butternut Rogosa Violina Gioia: named for its violin shape -- sweet, all-purpose orange flesh.
Marina di Chioggia: intense blue-green Italian heirloom, turban-shaped, great for pies and baking.
Queensland Blue: beautiful Australian heirloom, golden-fleshed, mid-sized.
Seminole Pumpkin: small, wild squash from the Everglades, hardy, productive, and delicious.
Upper Ground Sweet Potato: endangered heirloom that needs reviving! Can thrive in harsh conditions, and a good keeper.
You may purchase any of the individual varieties, the three Ark of Taste squashes, or try our Winter Squash Mix, an assortment of over 30 seeds which will include at least four of these great squashes!
Minimum 15-25 seeds per packet.
Our yarns, nuts, and particularly our garden seeds, make perfect holiday gifts in synergy with our shared goals of environmental protection, sustainability, and food security.
