From Our Gardeners
"Pilgrim Hybrid squash is a popular winter squash variety known for its smooth, round shape and deep orange skin. This squash grows on vigorous, short vines that thrive in warm weather and full sun, typically requiring about 80-120 days to mature fully. Gardeners appreciate Pilgrim Hybrid for its reliable, high yields, making it a great choice for both home gardens and small farms. The thick rind allows for excellent storage, so the squash can be kept for several months in a cool, dry place without losing flavor or texture. Inside, the flesh is dense, sweet, and creamy with a rich, nutty flavor that is perfect for roasting, baking, soups, and pies. The plant produces large yellow flowers that attract pollinators like bees, ensuring good fruit development during the growing season. Because it is a winter squash, Pilgrim Hybrid is harvested later in the season, usually in the fall, after the rind has hardened. Curing the squash after harvest helps to enhance its sweetness and preserve it for long-term storage. Pilgrim Hybrid squash is rich in vitamins A and C, supporting immune health, vision, and providing antioxidant benefits."
