{"product_id":"south-anna-butternut-winter-squash","title":"South Anna Butternut Winter Squash","description":"\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eWe absolutely love this downy mildew-resistant butternut squash bred for the South! Edmund Frost of \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/commonwealthseeds.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eCommonwealth Seed Growers\u003c\/a\u003e crossed our beloved Seminole Pumpkin with Waltham Butternut, then selected for downy mildew resistance, excellent flavor, productivity, high Brix, dry matter, keeping quality, and classic butternut shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eSouth Anna has the familiar butternut shape with the vigor and rich flavor of Seminole Pumpkin. Its skin is a deeper tan than most butternuts, and the plants are remarkably vigorous and productive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eLike all winter squash in this species (\u003cem\u003eCucurbita moschata\u003c\/em\u003e), these root along the ground as they grow, which is one of the key ways in which they are also tolerant of Squash Vine Borers. So while they easily can climb up trees and trellises, they will be more resilient to borers if they can root along the ground. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eThis variety has quickly become a favorite with Florida farmers and gardeners alike. Jordan Brown of Family Garden in Gainesville grew South Anna alongside other winter squash during a particularly brutal summer and fall and was so impressed with its productivity and flavor that he said he didn't want to grow any other winter squash! We understand why—it produced an almost unbelievable amount of fruit, and it is absolutely delicious.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSouth Anna is an \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/osseeds.org\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eOpen Source Seed Initiative \u003c\/a\u003e(OSSI) variety, part of a movement to keep seed freely available and protect it from corporate monopolization. The variety is fairly stable, and gardeners are encouraged to save seed and continue adapting it to their own regions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Working Food Seed \u0026 Merch Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46304251216061,"sku":null,"price":4.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0724\/1734\/5725\/files\/southanna3.jpg?v=1777773604","url":"https:\/\/workingfoodseeds.org\/products\/south-anna-butternut-winter-squash","provider":"Working Food ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
