Greek Sweet Red Squash - Winter Heirloom Seeds

Home > Squash - Winter > Greek Sweet Red

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.

Greek Sweet Red
(C. moschata) Here is one delicious squash; the long-necked reddish-tan fruit are filled with sweet, deep orange flesh that's richly flavored. This was the most popular squash here at Baker Creek in 2004. Attractive, large vines are highly productive. It was very resistant to squash beetles, too! This variety is super rare and I believe we are the only source. (Pkt. 10 seeds)
