Sunshine Kobacha F1, Cucurbita maxima is my favorite "if I could grow only one". It outshines all the others I've tried. I'll often add a bit of brown sugar to my squash when a side dish, but this is sublime with just a bit of butter. I have hot and dry summers (avg Humidity in August is 25 whereas in FL it's 90 - we're dry). Kept cool, easily last 5 months - simply haven't stored beyond that.

This amber, cup-type winter squash features bright orange skin and orange, sweet, nutty, creamy, string-less flesh. This 2004 All-America Selections winner also stores well.
