Cucurbita pepo
Certified Organic
Fool your friends with an amazing egg lookalike that's really a delicious squash!

Modest in size, it can be grown in a larger container or on a trellis. Succession sow as you would zucchini to eat these scrumptious squash eggs all season. Introduced to us by Dr. Mehmet Oztan of Two Seeds in a Pod.

Growing instructions
Start indoors 2-3 weeks before last frost or sow outdoors after last frost. Sow 2-3 more times at monthly intervals for fruit all season. Summer squash tolerates moderate soil fertility and dry conditions. Modest in size, Kars Egg could be grown in a larger container or on a trellis as they vine out. Harvest fruit when it is the size of an egg.

About the artist
Artwork by Eric Losh. Working with acrylic paints and watercolor, Eric interpreted this variety by creating a night sky with constellations of the plant's forebearers. The watchful terrestrial eyes suggest the keen observation it takes to be a seed steward.
