HEIRLOOM, ORGANIC.

The Delicata squash is a true heirloom seed variety, dating back to 1894 when it was introduced by the Peter Henderson Company. This winter squash boasts ivory cream skin with dark green stripes, and a rich sweet potato flavor. Fruits typically weigh 1-3 pounds and are prolific producers. Delicata is also good for winter storage, making it a great option for your fall and winter menus. 1.25g ~ 20 seeds.

Start seed indoors 3-4 weeks before transplanting into the garden. Optimum soil temperature for seed germination is 65-85 degrees. Transplant to the garden 2 to 3 weeks after your average last frost. Or, plant seeds directly in the garden 1-2 weeks after average last frost date. Sow 3-5 seeds per hill, thinning to a final 2-3 plants per hill. Winter squash grow best in a warm site with full sun. Warm soil is essential to good seed germination and emergence. Using transplants can speed production.
