About Acorn, Thelma Sanders
85–95 days. Cream-colored rind and nutty tasting orange-gold interior. Originally from Thelma Sanders of Missouri, saved by Ohio seed savers, and donated to Seed Savers Exchange in 1984. Thelma says this squash is “fine-meated, better than sweet potatoes.” Can be stored up to four months under good conditions.
Also known as Thelma Sanders Sweet Potato.
