This variety has a compact, bushy habit that produces good yields of 8 inch squash. Oblong-shaped squash are creamy white with green stripes and flecks. The flesh is smooth with a sweet nutty flavor. Harvest when skin feels tough and can resist being punctured with a fingernail.
Plant in full sun in soil that is well amended with compost and a good vegetable fertilizer. Give each plant about 2 feet of space to grow.
Hard-skinned squash can be difficult to peel and are most easily cooked in their skin. Split squash in half, scoop out seeds and roast, cut-side down until tender. Sprinkle with parmesan and herbs. Hard winter squash will keep in cool, dry storage for up to many weeks.
