kind of a late reply to up country girl. we were booted off the internet for a couple weeks
at home, and could only get on off site. some posts got missed.

scarchucks supreme is an acorn type squash, call it a winter squash, whatever classification that is. too tired to look it up. sandhill preservation says it is an 85 dtm.
supposed to be more resistant to squash vine borers.

i baked a couple this evening along with a couple thelma sanders sweet potato squash.
thelma sanders is pretty darn good too. scarchucks supreme might have a little more robust maybe nutty flavor than thelma sanders. i want to always grow both of them.
i would not have to choose one over the other.
