Hopi Pale Grey Squash - Winter Heirloom Seeds

Home > Squash - Winter > Hopi Pale Grey

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.

Hopi Pale Grey New!
(C. maxima) The 10 lb round fruit have a lovely pale gray rind that is ridged and very hard, making this a great keeping variety. Orange flesh is both sweet and dry, large vines are quite vigorous, a Southwestern heirloom from the Hopi people that has nearly become extinct in recent years.
