This item ships at the proper planting time for your region in both spring and fall.

Spacing: plant in hills about 6 ft apart
Depth: 1" (see planting instruction sheet above)
Sun/Shade: full sun
Days To Maturity: 140 days. This squash must be started as early as possible. Because it is so large, it takes the full 140 days to mature. See the sheet above if you have some squash that did not have time to ripen before frost.

Giant squash that keep extremely well. I picked some that weren't ripe (due to the 140-150 days maturitiy) and we have been eating them all winter. I still have one remaining that I picked in October and it is just about 100% orange now. No signs of spoilage and it has been 6 months!

Every year I would try something new in the garden, I tried this one a few years ago and it has earned a spot every year. Its sweeter than acorn, smoother than butter cup. I cut it into 1" cubes and roast them in the oven with carrots potatoes and parsnip. I'll always grow this one. you have to try it to believe. I never thought a squash this big could be so good.
