A garden treat that survived the invasion of squash vine borers

I am definitely ordering Seminole Pumpkin seeds again from you this year!!! Though they took a long time to put on fruit, they are wonderfully flavored and sweet both green and ripe!!! I love them!! And they survived the squash vine borers because of their ability to put out new tap roots and leave the damaged parts behind. They did well in my red Georgia dirt! A garden treat, that I’m still enjoying today in February because they keep well on the counter for months! Ohh and, yes, the ones I had to pick green at the end of the season were great green AND at all stages of ripening over the weeks on the counter! Love these and love not worrying about squash vine borer invasions!! Though of course I’ll still be on the lookout for them.

Bought a package of these seeds because we've had it bad with vine bores and we threw these in the ground later than we wanted or could have. We could have put hem in the ground here in early May but we got them in end of June and have had one of the hottest summers in years. All the other squash winter varieties we grew got taken over by the vine bores. My housemate kept telling me we would get squash from their plants of other varieties but they didn't make it while my Seminole squash is taking over and I'm thrilled we will have some squash. One of the main runner vine is now over 20' with many squash and a few offshoot runners now. I'm hoping that we can keep this going at least another month or so or maybe longer. It's mid August now and we started in late June. Hardly watered it and it seemed to take a long time to sprout and was afraid wouldn't get anything. We are definitely going to grow this next year and much earlier, maybe start and then transplant even tho it says direct sow.
