Squash Winter, Moranga

95 days. We are so excited to at last have seeds for the wonderful “Pink Pumpkin”. Very hard to find traditional squash from Brazil. Fruit is ribbed, light pink to salmon in color and weighs in at a modest 4-8 pounds. Traditionally used to make a dish called ‘Camarão na Moranga’ which means ‘shrimps in a squash’.

Growing Tips: Direct seed or set out transplants after last frost date. Don’t let transplants become rootbound; don't disturb roots while transplanting. Needs rich soil. Harvest when rinds become very hard.
