About Ukrainian
80 days. Deep orange interior has a sweet nutty flavor. Exterior is mottled pale green and pinkish orange. Round fruits are 10–20 pounds each. Delicious cooked, shredded raw to be eaten in salads, or even juiced. 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.
About Squash, Winter
Vining fall vegetables in a myriad of shapes and sizes. Will climb by tendrils. Do not mulch with plastic as each node can put down a root. Read more about curing squash here.
