I posted earlier but I have more info about Tromboncino squash...it is a vining moschata I believe, but it can be harvested when green and eaten as a summer squash. Then some squash can be left to mature and tin orange and it is a tasty winter squash. Very hardy, I have harvested bushels of giant squashes to eat as summer squash, had one that was midway between summer and winter and it was delicious and still tender. When the orange ones are a little more mature I can harvest and tell you how it tastes in its winter squash form. In any event, it is a fun plant...grows to a huge size and gets a lot of attention. Plus the sheer volume of vegetables it produces makes it well worth the huge vine.
