Giant squash that keep extremely well. I picked some that weren't ripe (due to the 140-150 days maturitiy) and we have been eating them all winter. I still have one remaining that I picked in October and it is just about 100% orange now. No signs of spoilage and it has been 6 months!

Every year I would try something new in the garden, I tried this one a few years ago and it has earned a spot every year. Its sweeter than acorn, smoother than butter cup. I cut it into 1" cubes and roast them in the oven with carrots potatoes and parsnip. I'll always grow this one. you have to try it to believe. I never thought a squash this big could be so good.

Biggest winter squash I ever grew
Reviewed By: SAndy Sobel (Rootstown, Ohio)
I raise rabbits to fertilize my garden. When I planted this variety of squash, it over ran my garden but grew lots of squash over 3 ft. long. The flesh was wonderful and full flavored.
