Table Queen Acorn Squash seeds
The Table Queen Acorn Squash was introduced by the Iowa Seed Co. in 1913, this squash got its name from its natural acorn shape. When cutting either vertically or horizontally, this squash is perfect for stuffing. The flesh of this squash is sweeter than most, so it's best matched with a savory filling, or used it for dessert or to replace sweet potato in recipes. Due to their small size, these can be grown on a trellis or in pots. Since they are compact, these would be ideal for any yard or apartment balcony.
