And yes I love Delicatas but they aren't a long storage types as most winter varieties are.
If you go to Johnny's Selected seeds you'll see the same re Delicatas being C. pepo and as I recall there's a bush Delicata offered by them as well as the standard ones.
Tom, I don't live that far from you and not once have I ever had SVBers, not once, and when I gardened at the old family farm near Albany I can't tell you how many squash varieties I used to grow. Strange.
