Veggie help please  . In one of the seed swaps you sent me a packet of squash winter chi chi. It’s a plain white packet with a printed label on it. No pictures. I’m just working out my sowing list for this year and googled said squash. Nothing! Can you or anyone please help me identify this?

Found it! And discovered the issue. As ever the issue was my dyslexia 
It’s cha cha ! I wrote it down wrong.
It comes up very quickly in a search, when you look for the right thing

I could picture the packet - white, with label, then remembered the name - they came from NutsnCones who sell Kings Seeds, although Kings don't seem to be selling it this year.

From the mispriced NutsnCones random packet offer, if I'm remembering correctly? There doesn't seem to be many seed shops selling Cha Cha, so I'm wondering if it's being discontinued. I'm going to sow some of the err...2000 serrano seeds this year to see if they're still viable.
Johnny's Seeds have a bit more information on it - https://www.johnnyseeds.com/vegetables/s...2187G.html

NutsnCones don't seem to be offering their random packets now. If you spot any, please let me know. I really liked buying them.
