I planted spaghetti squash one yr & we did not care too much for it. Luckily there were some people in my church who did & I would take bags of it each week to church for people to take. It was very prolific for me.

I have a massive seed collection that I just keep adding to when I find good deals.

Thanks for the tip... we're hot & slightly humid here so I'm wondering if it'll grow well here too. We eat maybe 4 spaghetti squash each year due to affordability.. I'd like one or two per month.

We have a farmers market to hopefully unload extras on, and of course co-workers & friends as well as our poultry & canines too.

Your welcome, I am zone 8/9 & we are HOT & only humidity is in the second half of July & first half of Aug.
