[QUOTE=tomboy mom;14861]
any idea how the seminole does in the desert? i have table queen acorn that are partially shaded and these seem to require very little water. i would love to find a summer-ish variety that tolerates lower watering.

I could try growing Cucurbita mixta cultivars (cushaw squash, etc.). They are native to the Southwest (just as C. moschata is native to the Southeast) and were grown by the Hopi and other native tribes. Hopefully they should be more drought tolerant than curcurbits originally native to wetter regions.
