Love spaghetti squash but don't want all the leftovers? 'Angel Hair' makes the perfect (and easy) presentation served on the "half-shell". Cooked flesh forks away from the shell in strands like spaghetti. Prolific plants produce up to 15, uniformly shaped, 1½ – 2 pounds fruits on long vines - great for trellising, Bake and butter, or use as a gluten-free, low-calorie pasta alternative!

Growing Info
Harvesting: Harvest when the squash's rind is hard enough that you can't dent it with your fingernail and before first frost. Cut stem, (don't break it off) leaving 2" of stem attached, which keeps the squash whole, leaving no opening for infection. Though fruits are hard and may seem indestructible, treat them gently; bruising can spoil squash.
