Candystick is known for its vigorous growth; it can yield fruits up to three pounds. Bred by Carol Deppe, this green striped, orange-tan delicata is sweeter and thicker-skinned than a traditional delicata; it’s a long keeper that can be enjoyed months after harvest. It is very rich and complex in taste and has a smooth, slightly dry texture that makes it famously dessert worthy.

Japanese winter squash known as Hokkaido with stunning red skin and deep orange flesh. With a rich flavor the flesh is dry and not stringy. Fruits are relatively small and easy to eat in one meal. Good for baking, soups and roasting. Keeps well. Early to produce and prolific as well. This can easily be direct sown after last frost or started 2-3 weeks in containers before transplant to garden.

As the name suggests, the seeds of this variety are hulless meaning you can just pop them in your mouth and eat. Wonderful nutty flavor. They are delicious raw or lightly toasted with salt or spices. The flesh of these pumpkins is not very nice to eat but all types of cows, chickens and pigs seem to enjoy. With orange skins and some green striping these could also be used for Halloween pumpkins and the seeds harvested at that time. The seeds are a great source of protein and once dried will keep until you are looking for a snack.

They mature quickly and can be harvested before other winter squashes. We found that if left too long in the field after maturity the seeds will begin to split and germinate inside the pumpkins. To harvest the seeds split pumpkins open and scoop seeds. Once you've cleaned the pumpkin guts off the seeds dry them on a screen until completely dry in a warm location with good air flow. Variety from the Styria region of Austria.

Waltham sets the standard for butternuts. Large fruits up to 6 lbs. with brilliant orange flesh. I love the natural sweet/savory flavor and the texture. We use butternuts in everything from pies, soups, baked and in breads. Excellent storage variety.

This heirloom pumpkin dates back to the late 1800s and has been loved ever since for its sweet orange flesh perfect for pies, soups and bakes. Winter Luxury is a mid-sized squash that can just about be used in one meal, with the leftover puree frozen for some later date. The vines crawl rampantly and each plant will produce 3-5 fruits with pale orange and finely netted skin.
