Overview
Small Wonder is a hybrid spaghetti squash from Hollar Seeds sized for one person: oval fruit about 4 to 6 inches with a light orange skin, so a single squash makes a single serving with no leftovers. The vines are vigorous and productive. Flavor is noted as exceptional for the type, and the flesh pulls into strands after baking. Ready in about 70 days, which is early for a spaghetti squash, so it fits shorter seasons.
