I planted these seeds in late spring, and by fall, I had the most delicious, creamy squash. They grew quickly and produced an abundant harvest. Easy to care for too!
I love how easy these seeds are to grow. They sprouted fast and produced so much fruit! The taste is sweeter than I expected, and I�ll definitely plant them again next year.
These seeds are perfect for small garden spaces. I didn�t need much space, and the plants yielded a surprising amount. The squash has a lovely texture too.
I�ve grown squash before, but these Delicata seeds took it to another level! They grew fast, were easy to maintain, and tasted incredible roasted with olive oil.
The squash tasted great, but I was hoping for more from my plants. I�ll try again next season, but the flavor and texture were perfect.
