Squash 'Tennessee Sweet Potato' (100 days) Cucurbita mixta
20 seeds $3.00
Tennessee Sweet Potato squash is often referred to as "the tofu of squashes" because it doesn't have much flavor of its own. It is best used as a filler in dishes like curry or spiced soups. Rather than being sweet, it tastes more like zucchini.
The greenish-white fruits weigh up to 12 pounds. It has a super-long storage life of 8 months! This species won't cross with your other squash.
American Heirloom, 1847.
