Delicata Winter Squash

Delicata Squash is a small, sweet, and tender winter squash known for its creamy, smooth flesh and delicate, edible skin. Often called the “sweet potato squash,” it has a naturally sweet, nutty flavor that intensifies when roasted or baked. The squash’s thin, striped skin comes in shades of cream and green, adding a pop of color to your harvest. Delicata is perfect for roasting, stuffing, or even adding to soups and salads. It’s a compact plant, ideal for small gardens or containers, and a great choice for gardeners who want to enjoy a unique, flavorful squash.
Planting Tips:
Full sun and well-drained, fertile soil are important for best growth.
Space plants 18-24 inches apart to allow for proper airflow and fruit development.
Water consistently, but avoid over-watering, as this can cause the fruit to rot.
