Winter Vine. Black Futsu is a striking Japanese heirloom squash that’s as flavorful as it is decorative—perfect for fall displays and the kitchen alike. Its thin, edible skin transitions from a dusky blue-gray to a rich, warm orange as it matures. Inside, the vibrant orange flesh is sweet, smooth, and versatile for cooking. This variety not only delights with its taste and looks but also stores well for 4–5 months, making it a practical and beautiful addition to any harvest.
Planted a little late. The seeds sprouted in a few days and I hope to harvest some squash in the fall.
Best tasting squash ever
Looks interesting
We love this squash! The color is beautiful and the squash is tasty. All our seeds sprouted and we had vigorous vines that produced multiple squash each. We grew it up a cattle panel trellis and it did great, no support needed for each squash.
They grow great every year and even in pretty poor soil. I grew them in very poor soil previously and they still did great. This year, I have about 6 well developed squashes off of 3 plants, with more on the way. One from last year's harvest is still hanging around. At this point it is 10-11 months old and shows no sign of aging.

I grew only a few seeds, but they came up fine, and I was able to get some delicious, sweet melon! I sprayed it once with a copper fungicide, and I should have done it a second time, but I still go melons. (I have a struggle with fungal problems here). Easy to grow, easy to eat!
This stuff feed my garden all summer. Highly recommend
This was one of my first tomatoes from MIgardener seed and I loved it so much. Very tasty green tomato, and even though it was only in a smallish container, it was one of my best producers! Nice clusters (not quite so big and dense as the photo, for me at least...) and great flavor for eating fresh in the garden. I'm not the best with tomatoes, I don't treat them as well as I should, and I grow in Seattle (8b?) which is finicky weather every year, so I was surprised these did so well! Will definitely grow again. Unfortunately I don't have any pictures saved on the vine, but the little green one in the attached photo is one of them!
Love sales. Time to stock up
Pollinators love this flower. Especially honey bees.
They grew in spring then reseeded themselves for fall.
