Other: Tatume is a vining heirloom squash from Mexico that is still very popular today and used in countless dishes. Tatume Squash plants tolerate heat well and are very prolific. Tatume can be grown as a summer or winter squash. For a tender-skinned summer squash, harvest the fruit at 45 days when it’s baseball size. For winter squash, let them keep growing until they reach soccer ball size, and harvest them as a hard shelled winter squash. Tatume is sweeter than the sweetest zucchini!
