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.
Mexican Xtop Squash - Winter seeds Mexican Xtop     New!
(C. mixta) A round, bowl-shaped Cushaw type with attractive green and white striped rinds and mild yellowish-white flesh. We like these best when picked before they are mature, and then fried. Huge silver- edged seeds are tasty, too. A rare Mexican heirloom that is quite beautiful.
