| 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.

Upper Ground Sweet Potato
New!
(C. moschata) This heirloom is still grown by a few people in the
South. An old, hardy type that grows well even in rather poor conditions,
and produces an abundance of medium-large, round-tobell-
shaped, tan fruit that have moist orange flesh that is said to
resemble that of the sweet potato, hence the name. Sweet, good
quality, and it keeps very well. A real rugged variety that is going
the way of the dinosaurs, if people don’t work to save it.
