Neutral Farmerdill On Sep 1, 2007, Farmerdill from Augusta, GA (Zone 8a) wrote:

A 1-3 lb squash originating in Thailand. Fairly early (80-90 days) Yellow-orange flesh. Performed better than others of this type but still sparse production of two fruits per plant. Very uniform in size and shape. Plants are vigorous and run run all over creation, reaching 25 feet in length. For me they take up way too much space for the yield.
