| 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.

Thai Kang Kob Pumpkin
(C. moschata) A lovely sea green-colored squash that turns chestnut
color in storage; pumpkin-shaped, very ribbed and warted. Weighs
about 6-8 lbs, a favorite here at Baker Creek; vines produced well and
had good resistance to squash bugs and other pests. The orange
flesh is richly flavored, sweet and fragrant,
great for curries, soups,
stir-fries and more. Andrew Kaiser brought back this great variety from Thailand in 2006.
Good for fall displays and markets.
Item Code: SQ204
