Pretty fruits. Awesome flavour.

If you're someone who likes collecting recipes, you may have seen Delicata Squash mentioned before. It has been likened to sweet potato, while others say it is better than butternut, but is it as delicate as its name suggests? The plant certainly isn't! In fact, it is so vigorous, that the vines will need plenty of room. Nevertheless, it is well worth devoting some space to these beauties, especially if you enjoy the awesome flavour you get from heirloom vegetables.

How to Sow
You can grow spaghetti squash all year in tropical climates. In cooler ones, you will need them to develop during the warm summer months, so sow in spring. Leave about 70cm between planting stations containing two to three plants each to give your vines room to grow.
How to Harvest
When the stems start to dry out, you’ll know your squash is ready to harvest. The skin should be too hard to scratch with a fingernail.
