The climbing vines establish quickly and perform especially well on a sturdy overhead trellis or arbor.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:16px;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nMarket-stage fruits are short and cylindrical with smooth green skin, rounded ends and a clean, uniform appearance. Each young squash typically reaches approximately 10 inches long and weighs about 1.3 lb, offering a convenient size for household cooking and fresh-market sales. Fruits produced later in the harvest season may become somewhat longer.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:16px;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe tender white flesh develops a smooth, delicate texture and mild, pleasantly sweet flavor when harvested young. Four-Season Sweet Opo Squash is an excellent choice for stir-fries, soups, steaming, braising and other Asian-style vegetable dishes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:16px;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nUnder favorable warm-season conditions, vines begin producing harvestable young fruits approximately 60–80 days after sowing. Regular picking maintains tender eating quality and encourages the vigorous plants to continue flowering and setting additional fruit.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"BELLFARM","offers":[{"title":"1 Bag (0.28 oz ≈ 60 Seeds)","offer_id":53439461785882,"sku":"WP-1459-choice","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0776\/2106\/8058\/files\/886b1c0fc2097a9feb0ee1f1e42608b1.jpg?v=1794461476","url":"https:\/\/timergarden.com\/products\/w1459-four-season-sweet-bottle-gourd-seeds-wp1459","provider":"MUCIAKIE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
