Hello from Indianapolis, Zone 6a. I'm trying to find seed for "Ponca" winter squash. Fedco is plum out and this variety seems to be a rare one. It's an open-pollinated, semi-bush moschata, which are characteristics I'm looking for to dovetail with my OP bush pepo and bush maxima in my tiny city garden.
Description: Ideal for short-season gardeners who like butternut but can’t vine-ripen Waltham. Baby 2 lb fruits ripen here well before Common Ground Fair. With small seed cavities, the fruits mature to tan without green streaking, but don’t store as well as their big Waltham cousins. Developed by Dermot P. Coyne at the University of Nebraska in 1976
