member of the diverse gourd family has been nourishing people for over 3000 years. Bearing single male and female
flowers on the same plant(monoecious). The fruits are borne from the female flowering bracts and are 10" - 12" long in
some varieties and over 2' long in others. These fruits are high in Vitamin C and A, phosphorus, calcium, and contain a
trace amount of iron.

GROWING TIPS

increases yields as plants do not waste energy with extended seed production. Keep an eye out for pests and mid to
late summer leaf blights.
