Magdalena Big Cheese

  • EM031

    • Cucurbita moschata.  From Sonora Mexico, this is one of the oldest types of cultivated squash. Excellent producer of large, light orange, ribbed fruits with a flattened pumpkin shape (like a wheel of cheese) and wonderfully sweet, bright orange flesh. A staff and volunteer favorite! From our Seed Bank Collection. 

    • Origin: high desert at about 3600' elevation, but can perform well at lower elevations
    • Approx. 3g/±15 seeds per packet
    • Limit 3 packets.
  • $3.95

Magdalena Squash

This vegetable does very well in Tucson. It is both a summer squash and a winter squash. If you pick one when it's very young, you have a summer squash. If you let it go, you can harvest a huge winter squash in the fall. Careful, it will take over your whole yard!

Good fast producing pumpkin

I planted these pumpkins in late in season about 85 days before first frost . I grew them three sisters style and they gained frost protection from the corn and are still growing after 4 frosts . Next time I will grow them earlier. They gave me 8 good sized pumpkins.
