Description: Vegetable SpaghettiCucurbita pepo90 days — This squash, as the name implies, is a bit unique in that it can be served with a sauce like spaghetti. Boil the mature fruit for about thirty minutes, cut in half and remove the seeds, then scoop out the flesh with a fork and serve with your favorite pasta topping.Growing on vigorous vines, the fruit are shaped like a cylinder, eight inches long, weighing about four pounds, and rind is hard, smooth and yellow in color. Although it is categorized as a winter squash, it does not store well and is generally eaten shortly after harvesting like summer squash. Planting Instructions: Choose a location that has warm, well-drained and fertile soil. Work in plenty of well composted organic matter and mulch established plants to conserve moisture, as squash are heavy water consumers. Sow directly into the garden after threat of frost has passed.It is common to plant seeds in hills. The hills are created by mounding up the soil about four to six inches high, twenty-four inches across at the base and flattened on the top. This allows the soil to be better warmed by the sun and provides better protection from heavy rain.Sow five to six seeds, one inch deep, in hills or rows. Spacing is dependent on plant type. Vining varieties should be spaced on six foot centers while bush-types at twenty-four to thirty inches apart. When seeds germinate, cut off all but the strongest three or four seedlings.When laying out your garden, remember to consider the growing habits of the varieties that you are planting. Some bush-types are compact while some vining types require a tremendous amount of space. Harvest time will also vary by type.Botanical Name: Cucurbita pepoLife Cycle: AnnualLight Requirement: Full SunPlanting Season: Warm SeasonPlant Type: Running Vine, Winter SquashFeatures: Heirloom, Deer Resistant, Container GardenFruit Size: 3-7 lbs, 8”-10” LongDays to Maturity: 90 DaysPlant Spacing: 24-36 inchesPlanting Depth: 1 inchSowing Method: Start Indoors, Direct SowCold Stratification: NoHardiness Zones: 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 All orders are shipped for FREE, no cost to you through USPS.
