Honey Boat Delicata Squash
90-100 days. This green-streaked, pale peach-hued, light orange-fleshed Delicata-type Squash is a step above even the sweetest Delicatas. The 6”- to 8”-long, 3”-wide, 1- to 1½-pound fruits grow on long, prolific 6’ vines, and can be used as soon as they’re picked, or stored. Cut into two halves, seeds removed, and roasted with a touch of salt and butter, it makes a perfect side dish for two! (OP.)

- Information
There is something extraordinary about the aroma of baking Winter Squash, bubbling with butter and brown sugar. Sun-loving Winter Squash is best direct-sown in well-draining, fertile, 60°F soil, two weeks past the last spring frost date. Plant them with plenty of elbow room since they love to ramble. Squash is simple to grow and transforms easily into nutritious, heart-warming dishes: soups, gratins or sumptuous Thai or Indian curries. Squash requires fertile soil and room to stretch in hot sunshine. Harvest with a sharp blade when skin is hard and the mature coloration appears, leaving some stem. Cure in the sun for ten days or in a dry room for five days. Properly cured Squash, kept cool and dry, keeps all winter long. Bee friendly. Deer resistant.
Average seed life: 3 years.
