WEST COAST SEEDS SQUASH BURGESS BUTTERCUP

  • C. maxima. This reliable heirloom produces small, 1.5kg (3 lb) turban shaped fruits with dark green skins and the unmistakable navel or dome at the blossom end.
  • The golden orange flesh inside each fruit is sweet and finely textured, never watery.
  • The thin skins are extremely hard, but that is key for long term storage. These popular squashes won't last right through winter the way a hubbard or delicata might, but you should bring one to Christmas dinner, and impress your friends and family.
  • Matures in 115 days. (Open-pollinated seeds)

    Growing Squash

  • Direct sow or transplant in late spring once the soil is warm. For transplants, start seeds indoors during the first two weeks of May. Optimal soil temperature: 25-35°C (77-95°F). Seeds should germinate in 7-14 days.


    Companion Planting For Squash

  • Companions: corn, lettuce, melons, peas, and radish. Borage is said to improve the growth and flavour of squash. Marigolds and nasturtium repel numerous squash pest insects.
  • Avoid planting squash near Brassicas or potatoes.
