Cucurbita pepo
Vegetable Spaghetti (88 days)
 

This squash is said to have originated in the 1890s, but the first reference in any U.S. catalog I can find is 1937.  (still searching...)

This squash gets its name from the spaghetti like strands that come out of it once cooked. 

Spaghetti squash is from Japan, but leave it up to Americans to think of putting butter or sauce on it to create a healthy spaghetti like meal. 

Vegetable Spaghetti produces nice yields of cylindrical shaped squash. The creamy colored squash is a sure hit with kids that won't eat their veggies. 

Vegetable Spaghetti Squash grow on vigorous spreading vines with fruits weighing up to 7 lbs. 

Vegetable Spaghetti Squash is a great keeper storing as long as 4 months.
