These guys are so cute! Haven't had a chance to try the vegetable yet, but one plant produces more than enough for a family over the summer.

I love how the leaves on the plant are striped just like the squash! :-D

This squash grows extremely well in New Mexico and is a great favorite of the local Hispanic population which has passed the seed down for generations. It is very popular for a well known local dish here called Calabazitas made with summer squash, chile, onion, cheese and often fresh corn.
