Wieboldt Thorndale, TX (Zone 8b) March 31, 2008 11:47 AM Post #4735226 This looks SIMILAR, but not exactly the same, as a hard-to-find Squash called a TAHITIAN squash. They can get to be over 30 pounds. I would really like to find a source of these squash seeds. I had them 20+ years ago. They are not the butternut ones. Can you help me? I have a picture I can email privately. Thanks. Horseshoe Efland, NC (Zone 7a) March 31, 2008 11:54 AM Post #4735273 Wiebolt, you can get seeds of Tahitian squash at Seeds of Change. Check them out at this link: http://www.seedsofchange.com/garden_center/product_details.a... Holler back and let us know how they do for you, okay?

I wonder if the pic that Seeds of Change posted are ones that didn't reach full size? (They state they grow 8-30 pounds.) If I come across something else on the 'Net I'll give you a holler back. Shoe Wieboldt Thorndale, TX (Zone 8b) March 31, 2008 05:33 PM Post #4736810 Thanks. You may call me Andrea. I don't know why I put my last name instead of my first. The gentleman for whom I am tryinng to locate these thinks he can get them through Sandhill Preservation. They didn't sound right to me, but he thinks they may be. Will let you know if he is satisfied.
