| 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.

Pipian From Tuxpan
New!
(C. mixta) A lovely 6 lb round squash that has fine white and green
stripes! Very easy to grow, and the long vines produce an incredible
amount of fruit here! We collected this variety near Tuxpan,
Mexico from a gentleman at a roadside stand; he said this variety
is grown for its large, tasty seeds that are used in Mexican deserts
and other foods. These fruit are very seedy, with loads of big
white-skinned seeds that have silver rims. Inside the skin, they
are filled with tender, nutty seeds that are great raw and superb
roasted!
