OTHER: Tatume is a vining heirloom Squash from Mexico that is still very popular today & used in countless dishes. Tatume Squash plants tolerate heat well & are very prolific. Tatume can be grown as a summer or winter squash. For a tender-skinned summer squash, harvest the fruit at 45 days when it's baseball size. For winter squash, let them keep growing until they reach soccer ball size, & harvest them as a hard shelled as a winter squash. Tatume is sweeter than the sweetest zucchini!
