Honeyboat Delicata

Cucurrbita pepo ( 100 days )

This is a charming variant on the Delicata theme with shorter, fatter fruits that are 1-2 lbs with copper skin and green stripes rather than the typical pale yellow with green stripes of the Zepplin Delicata. Grow this for its incredibly sweet flavor and reliable storage qualities. Thin skin can be eaten. Wonderful, steamed, baked, roasted, cut up into bite sized pieces and sauteed, or stuffed. A consistent favorite! Bred by Dr. James Baggett at OSU. Bush habit.
