Hello, I would love to trade with someone for some Hokaido winter squash. Stella Blue would be nice, but any Hokaido variety of Cucurbita maxima would do. I have a good variety of both winter and summer squash seed I can trade or other plant and flower seeds. Thanks, Jean recipesaver2

Hmm.... Thought I replied to your follow-up over a week ago, but I must not have hit the "post" button. Thanks for the info on the naked seed pumpkins. Do you know if the pumpkins themselves are also as good for eating as the the pie pumpkins? I'm thinking I'll have to give these a shot either next year or the year after. I actually eat the seeds shell-on and have never had them any other way. I also found buttercup squash at the store. It had good seeds although being fairly dry, they were harder to get out. I ordered most of my veggie seeds yesterday, including a buttercup and kabocha to try this year. Hopefully the kabocha will be smaller than the one I got at the store and have less fibrous shells on the seeds.

I'm about to order some open pollinated Kabocha. Check it out! I'll be growing these in a my three sisters and a foreigner(the Kabocha)garden. Blue Kuri Cucurbita maxima A traditional open pollinated Japanese kabocha squash that has globe-shaped fruit with blue-green skin. The flesh is thick, yellow and very sweet. Fruit matures to 2-3 lbs and is 6-8" in diameter. The plant has a vine growth habit. http://www.kitazawaseed.com/seed_043-187.html
