Overview
Festival is a hybrid acorn squash from Seeds By Design that doubles as a decoration. Fruit weigh 1 to 3 pounds and are painted in cream and golden yellow with deep green at the blossom end, so a basket of them looks like autumn on its own, and the flesh is good eating too. Plants are semi-bush, tidier than a full vine, and the reference lists maturity at 84 days (100 in another listing), so use the earlier figure as a guide and check rind hardness.
