This year’s C. moschata mix includes seeds grown in California, Florida, Louisiana, Missouri, Mississippi, New Mexico, and Texas. These are mainly grexes and include the genetics of South Anna, Cherokee Tan, Seminole Pumpkin, Lofthouse moschata landrace, and Mountain Jewel’s moschata landrace, among many others. Trombocino and a variety originally from Korčula, Croatia are also in this mix. Selected for good taste and resistance to heat, drought and insects, particularly squash bugs.

About the Seed Steward
My name is Debbie Ang and I am a home gardener living in Utah at an elevation of 4300 ft (zone 7a) and <20” rain/yr. Squash are one of my favorite plants because of the beautiful vines and the wide range of tastes, shapes, colors and sizes of fruits. Some varieties store well for months and do not require any special preservation techniques, perfect for a lazy person like me!
