About Ukrainian

80 days. Deep orange interior has a sweet nutty flavor. Delicious cooked, shredded raw to be eaten in salads, or even juiced. Round 10- to 20-pound fruits are mottled pale green and pinkish orange. Do not mulch with plastic as each node can put down a root. Susceptible to squash vine borer, but does very well north of the Twin Cities where this pest is not found.

Interesting 10-minute interview with a farmer who grows these squash in Cass County, Minn.
