Marina di Chioggia Specialty and Heirloom Squash

seeds
Cucurbita maxima
(100 days) Open pollinated.

The sea pumpkin of Chioggia is surely one of the most beautiful squashes with its deep ridges and bumpy protuberances. Variability adds to their appeal, color ranging from aquamarine to very dark green, most with bumps, some without. Though fruits grow quite large, averaging 15 lb, they have such eye appeal that growers report they are hot sellers. As delectable as they are handsome, even those harvested in 2009’s horrific squash year won accolades from our staff for their dense moist texture, rich sweetness and real substance. Delicious baked, in pies; ideal for gnocchi and ravioli. Caution: rampant vines.
