Interesting. Honeynut Squash Is a Tiny Squash with a Big History The fascinating story of how Cornell plant breeder Michael Mazourek created the shrunken butternut squash you've been seeing all over the farmers' market.
Greater yield and better flavor (baked) they say, but the edible thin skin may mean squirrels and or perhaps rats like them also, whereas my exp. with butternut is that they may take a bite or so out of a couple or so but go no more. Thank God.
Nice summary/info!
It is an awesome variety. This will be my 3rd season growing it. Nice and compact, which seems to be the way I’m going with my garden these days.
If everything takes up just a little bit LESS room, I can try MORE varieties! :)
I LOVE to chunk it up and roast it with just Olive Oil, minced garlic (or garlic powder) and S&P. We could both eat that every day of the week and ask for more. :)
