Tatume

Posted by Dave Riley on September 3, 2021 at 2:50pm
My fav squash all-rounder: Tatume.Sweeter than Zucchini. But not a pumpkin flavour. Easy to grow. Prolific. Tasty.Versatile in the kitchen.I let these grow a bit bigger than I prefer...but with these, there are a few feeds on offer. Great in stews.There's more on the vine -- a vine which is not as big as Trombonchino will become.Texture is softer than a butternut. Closer to Zukes.But DO NOT get Tatume mixed up with Mexican zucchini or Chilacayote.Chilacayote is a bit bland.

    Where did you get the seeds?  Would love to have a go at growing them

    I had no luck with the buggers.  Vines died.

    The Tatume is much more generous harvest than growing chilacayote.
