Lucky you! They are not that easy to come by. Late as it is I have several starter plants I'm just putting in the ground. I'm hoping that they will take off before the rains come in. I think they will! I know exactly what you mean about escaping the garden and I can't wait to say same. They are truly my favorite squash. Delicious! Good for you for planting them!

I have 4 plants, that stretch over a space of about 30 feet in diameter..so far..they are escaping the garden. We harvested a couple of little ones the other day and they are delicious...I also have tomatillos growing wild...somehow...I didn't plant any..

I can understand your frustration. I also have felt the frustration of discovering this whole other line of delicious squashes that few mainstream markets seem interested in exploring. I was aware Wild Oats was bought up by Whole Foods. If I were in your shoes I'd be writing to Whole Foods corporate office and ask them to consider carrying kuri and why. I don't know if CO has a long enough growing season to sustain a squash like kuri. Perhaps if you started it from seed indoors and gave it a running start and then put it in the sunniest location you have access to? Good luck! Let me know! Kathryn xoox Welcome, Carolyne!

WO was bought last year by Whole Foods. The Whole Foods produce guy at my store told me they'd no longer carry kuris as there's "not enough interest in them." Sigh. Does anyone know if they'll grow in Denver's climate? I have the space and the interest in trying them.... I’ve been buying kuri squash at Wild Oats in Denver for several years.

I was looking for banana squash, but what a delight to bring my lovely orange Kuri home and cook it in the microwave, take out the seeds, and add Stevia, vanilla & cinnamon. I'll have it for dinner tonight! Thanks for telling us about YOUR discovery. I discovered Kuri Squash today at the supermarket (Von’s).

Nice! For your info, and several of your readers, Kuri squash is supposed to be available at Seeds for Change, under the name of "Uchiki Kuri". I'm about to order some - about 15 seeds, $3.69 + postage, I think. Website www.seedsofchange.com Try Google for other possible sources. Incidentally, Google has references to good-sounding recipes for Kuri squash. Good luck - and good eatin' Bob Loveless Good luck. Just stumbled over your blog while seeking kuri squash seed source.
