Carnival Squash

Carnival will give your senses a thrilling ride: first treating your eyes to a kaleidoscope of colors, each fruit flecked with shades of green, gold and yellow, no two exactly alike. Then wafting to your nostrils with its nutty squash aroma as it bakes, finally thrilling your taste buds with its full-bodied sweetness. This semi-bush acorn type produces medium-sized fruits near the crowns for easy picking. Jason Kafka reported outstanding success growing Carnival and Sweet Mama on landscape fabric. A marvelous seller at farmers markets. Will store for many months. Note: color variation is a function of temperature. In high temperatures Carnival will have less yellow and gold and more green .
