Thelma Sanders Winter Squash Seeds

We first grew Thelma Sanders in 2008 and boy were we blown away. We were looking for a vigorous and great tasting winter squash with consistent ripening and this one fit the bill! An heirloom originally from Missouri, it was saved by squash seed collectors Sue and Tom Knoche of Sardinia, Ohio. Squash are tan and flesh is light and creamy with a distinctive, sweet taste of autumn. A real treat when baked and buttered (Aunt Linda can't get enough of this squash!). Also makes great squash soup. We were pleasantly surprised to discover that Thelma Sanders is sweet and delicious when eaten as an immature (summer) squash as well. Dense vining plants make a good ground cover for weed control. Fruit stores until February under good storage conditions. 90 days to maturity.
