Perfect for hot climates.

This variety of Squash is well known in Mexico & grows well here in the hot dry climate of Southern California.i was able to grow this variety in 2021, as everyone knows California is going through a bad drought & I heavily mulched these plants and deep watered them once or twice a week & they thrived very well and where very good producers of both summer squash(when picked young) & winter squash when I let the vines dry out at the end of the season.i highly recommend this variety for those who want a sustainable garden.
