Sweet winter dumpling squash is as cute as cute can be - just like a slightly smaller than gem-squash-sized pumpkin.

Winter dumpling squashes are perfect for gardeners who enjoy growing unusual and interesting vegetables they won't easily find in stores and markets.

Growing Information

How to Sow

The "winter" in this squash's name refers to its great storage potential. Sow it in spring for a summer harvest. Plant your seeds where they are to grow or start them in small pots, transplanting before they get too big.

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.
