Squash Winter Vegetable Spaghetti Heirloom
Cucurbita maxima
Also called gold string melon, spaghetti squash is unique among winter squashes; when cooked, the flesh falls away from the shell in ribbons or strands like spaghetti, and retains a tender crunch. Savory rather than sweet flavor; superb with just a bit of butter and salt. Each plant yields 5 - 7 squash.
This packet plants 6 mounds.
Days to Emerge: 5 - 10 days
Seed Depth: 1"
Seed Spacing: 3 seeds per mound
Mound Spacing: 6'
Thinning: When 2" tall thin to 1 - 2 per mound
When to sow outside: RECOMMENDED. 2 to 4 weeks after average last frost and when soil temperatures have risen above 60° F.
When to start inside: Not recommended except in very short season climates, 2 to 4 weeks before average last frost. Sow in individual pulp pots that can be planted directly in the ground.
Harvesting: Harvest just before the first fall frost, (do not leave in the garden when temperatures drop below 33° F) when the squash's rind is hard enough that you can't dent it with your fingernail. Cut, (don't break the stems off) leaving 2" of stem attached. If stem attachment is broken, the squash will rot in a few weeks. Though fruits are hard and may seem indestructible, treat them gently; a bruised squash spoils quickly.
