Potimarron produces attractive chestnut-shaped squash that are about 4 pounds each. This French heirloom has deep orange skin that deepens in color in storage. 
 
We were pleasantly surprised how productive Potimarron was for us in our zone 5 gardens. We made pumpkin curry with our harvest. Here is my recipe: cook pealed and thinly sliced squash with onions, sweet peppers, butter, sour cream, honey and curry powder. Serve on brown rice. 
 
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.
