Squash 'Guicoy' has a rich flavor and pleasant texture. It won our zucchini taste tests of 2024 against three other squashes. Guicoy is round like Kamo Kamo, but has a flatter shape with deeper ridges. It is a vining type plant, so give it room to roam or trellis it up a fence. The mature squash is an excellent holiday decoration for the table. Guatemalan heirloom.
 
To save Guicoy seeds, smash mature fruits with a mallet or hammer, as a knife won't be able to cut them. Then wash and dry the seeds on a window screen.
 
Sowing Squash Seeds: 
 
Sow seeds in hills 1 inch deep after the last frost date.  Space hills 4–6 feet apart. Thinned to 2 plants per hill. Full sun.
