Edibles: Fruiting Vegetable

The sweet flavor of Honey Bear is the main reason any gardener would want to grow this acorn squash but there are much more exceptional qualities. As the fall season nears, Honey Bear will tolerate the cool, moist temperatures and continue to ripen squash while other varieties succumb to mildew. Honey Bear requires less space in the garden since it has a compact bushy habit. These traits are desirable for consumers with a limited size garden. Earliness is another valuable quality.
