Yes, they do. *sulks* Squash are going to be pretty much a write-off for us this year, I think.

No SVB for us. (So far. Knocks wood. Thank the universe.) But we did have squash bugs and cucumber beetles (and still have cucumber beetles by the thousands) and they've brought various wilts and viruses which in addition to the drought...
Well, next year. Meantime I will admire yours. They look great. Smart move with the BT!

keen101 is growing it. From the pics on his website it sure looks like a cheese pumpkin type moschata to me. |

The ironic part is that none of the photos on that page are mine yet. How does one know for sure what species it is? In fact i dont know what species any of the three im growing are. All i know about the Hopi Black is that they need a long season to grow. I sure hope some set fruit soon. The seem like they are nearly extinct or if people are growing them they do not use the internet.

After looking around the internet.. I've concluded that Hopi Black resembles Musquee de Provence so closely that there is a strong possibility that it is a sub variety. If so that would mean it actually a C. moschata or a "cheese type". It explains why it's a long season squash. The shape with Musquee de Provence matches fairly well. The leaf mottling matches extremely well. and the color almost matches, but with some slight differences. What do other people think?

The ironic part is that none of the photos on that page are mine yet. How does one know for sure what species it is? Maximas have a round corky stem. Moschatas have a 5 sided stem. The few images I can find that are called "Black Hopi" have a 5 sided stem. |
