Sweet Meat Squash - Winter Heirloom Seeds

Home > Squash - Winter > Sweet Meat

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.

Sweet Meat
95 days (C. maxima) A delicious heirloom from Oregon, excellent flavored deep orange flesh, very sweet. Fruit are large and flattened in shape (somewhat like a Rouge Vif D’Etampes). Skin color is beautiful deep sea blue-green. Our family grew this one more than twenty years ago when we used to live in Oregon.
