Squash - Winter - Sweet Meat - Org

Sweet Meat Organic Winter Squash is a Hubbard sized, slightly flattened round fruit with near Buttercup sweetness. It has a slate green shell and orange flesh. Sweet Meat is a heavy yielding plant that will aggressively push the borders you plant them in. It can weigh in up to 20 lbs. on fertile fields and is an excellent keeper. Because of its tender dry texture, it can be used in place of summer squash in cooked foods. Seed directly into the garden in late spring when all danger of frost has passed and weather has warmed. Plant about 6 seeds per hill, spacing hills 3 to 4 feet apart. Thin or transplant to 3 sturdiest plants per hill when seedlings are 3 to 4 inches high. . ... find out more
