SQUASH & PUMPKINS 20-35 seeds per packet. Grow winter squash in very rich soil, amended with manure, compost, or other rich source of plant nutrients. Plant in rows, 5-8 feet in both directions, sowing one seed every 6-12 inches. Or plant in hills, 5 seeds per hill, with the hills 6-8 feet apart, thinning to best three plants. Full sun, ample moisture and insect control as necessary should allow good production from the vigorous plants. Harvest in autumn when skins are too tough to be easily punctured with a thumbnail.
Baby Blue Hubbard
(C. Maxima)A lovely little squash that was developed in 1953 by the University of New Hampshire. Small, hubbard-shaped fruit weigh around 6 lbs. and have fine-grained, yellow-gold flesh that is sweet and of excellent quality. A great variety for marketing or for small households. Semi-bush vines are easier to handle.
