| Hi
I grew this season the Chinese winter squash Papaya Sweet and Papaya Golden.
The sweet did better in performance in my climate. They are so good!, that I would like to try any other Asian varieties that did well for any of you.
I am looking for a winter squash that can be used when green and also when ripe. Flavor is very important since I use in a lot of cooking, savory as well as sweet dishes.
Thanks for your help, here are my Chinese pumpkins.

| Known You Seed Company ( Taiwan) develops a lot of winter squash. Fairy is probably the best known in North America. Kitazawa Seed Company leans toward Japanese and Korean developed cultivars but has a wide selection, including some from Known You. The more common butternuts and acorns are frequently used as dual purpose squash. Any winter squash can be used as a summer squash when immature, but quality varies widely. |

| Hi Farmerdilla Thank you for your response! I thought this forum was dead. lol In your expert opinion which one is your favorite winter squash? Any variety from any place. I like to try new varieties every year. Last year I did the Seminole, this year I did Asian squash, next season I would like to try a new one for me. I do prefer heirlooms if possible, this way I can save the seeds. Thank you for the links, I am going to take a look and see what I find. Silvia |
