Default Lofthouse buttercup

I received seeds for this from Gary's MMM swap last year and grew a couple of plants this season. What a nice, very sweet and dry squash this is! Very picturesque mix of both dark green spotted and mostly orange versions and the size is perfect for two people. I first ate a couple of the small immature ones when I harvested them at frost, and was surprised at how dense and sweet they were even not fully sized. I will try to remember to save seed (I usually toast squash seeds in the oven for snacking) and hope I get something similar next year. I did also grow Sweetmeat squash in close proximity but don't know enough about squash types to know if that's a possible crosser. Looking forward to whatever I get!



Thanks, Joseph!
