100 days from sowing. Acorn squash can be a commitment to crack open, with all that delicious flesh to be cubed and cooked. But Honey Bear is just the right size for two people; the little 1-pound fruits are manageable in a single sitting, and easier to work with, too!

Highly disease resistant (goodbye, powdery mildew!) and vigorous, this compact plant grows vigorously up to 5 feet wide, setting between 3 and 5 fruits. Absolutely delicious, it is sweeter than many acorns and always tender and succulent. Chop it in half and bake it with a little brown sugar, and it’s a solid pound of heaven!

You will find that Honey Bear outlasts most other winter squash in the garden, still growing robustly well into autumn. Vigorous, delicious, compact, and heavy yielding — no wonder it won a 2009 AAS! Find room for it in the veggie patch this year; you won’t regret it! Pkt is 20 seeds.
