AnnualWinter Vine. Also known as Japanese Pumpkin, the Kabocha squash is a popular Japanese winter squash that is very productive. It produces a hard dark-green exterior skin with a bright yellowish orange flesh with small seeds and is high in the antioxidant beta-carotene. This squash is known for its excellent sweet and nutty flavoring, making it perfect for roasting, steaming, stuffing, or pureeing.
Started about a week ago, I know, I'm late. It has started to sprout though, so, so far so good.
I see so many “reviews” from MIGardener fans that write reviews saying they are “Looking forward to growing x”
Well this is rather annoying because it’s not a review. I am looking for opinions from gardeners that have actually GROWN the vegetable, fruit, herb, etc. These non review “reviews” are not helpful
Can’t wait to grow these
I tried this last year,and became my favorite
looking forward to see how this grows in the spring of 2025.
This is my first year growing straw flower. The germination rate is fantastic and you get so many seeds. Can't wait till they can moved outdoors and bloom in my purple flower bed.
Everything but the royal paste sprouted. Sometimes that happens. Will place another order for fall planting.
This variety was excellent for me for cooking. I needed to pick fewer leaves and chopping was a breeze. The spinich felt more succulent and thicker than the American (smaller spoon shaped leaves). I would use it for cooking and keep the smaller leaved varieties for raw salad eating. My weather was a tricky early on and off again spring and winter pattern, so I think that triggered early bolting, but even still. It was pretty hands off and worth it.
Awesome producer and neat looking fruit! The abundant cucumber beetles seem to ignore the vines too!
Haven’t planted yet. Looking forward to adding to salads! So happy MIgarden had these. Hard to find Microgreen seeds
