The cute, round, 4- to 5-inch, 1- to 2-pound, single-serving fruits have a hard, sea-green rind with light green stripes and golden speckles. The flesh is deep blood-orange when ripe and has an outstanding, very sweet, earthy flavor that is a cross between pumpkin and sweet potato, with a hint of chestnut. Kabocha has drier flesh than other squash, making it easier to cook with oils. A culinary staple in Japan, kabocha is good fried, roasted, baked (including in pies and muffins), or puréed to flavor and thicken curries and soups. It is an excellent source of beta-carotene, fiber, and vitamins A and C.

Sow seeds 1 inch deep directly into the garden after the danger of frost is past. Thin the seedlings to 24 inches apart, or plant several seeds in hills 4 feet apart and then thin to 2 plants per hill. (For even earlier harvests, start seeds indoors.) Pick when the fruits are still small (4 to 8 inches long).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"parkseed","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42354512691259,"sku":"52874-PK-P1","price":6.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/8580\/4859\/files\/Product_MediaImage_52874-PK-P1_1.jpg?v=1753891809"},{"product_id":"red-peacock-hybrid-ornamental-kale-seeds-01096-pk-500","title":"Red Peacock™ Hybrid Ornamental Kale Seeds","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDays to Maturity: 90 from direct sow\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"parkseed","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42354514067515,"sku":"01096-PK-500","price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/8580\/4859\/files\/Product_MediaImage_01096-PK-500_1.jpg?v=1753891860"},{"product_id":"marketmore-select-organic-cucumber-seeds-05847","title":"Marketmore Select Organic Cucumber Seeds","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDays to Maturity: 68\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eWhen Cornell University developed Marketmore 76, it became the standard for slicing cucumbers.
