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.
Potimarron
(C. maxima) Very popular in French cooking. The fruit are small, teardrop-shaped and have brilliant red skin with very aromatic flesh that has a chestnut-like flavor. So yummy baked or fried, and so pretty too. A great variety for farmers' markets or the home gardener who prefers a small squash.
