WEST COAST SEEDS SQUASH BUTTERCUP GOLD NUGGET

  • C. maxima. Gold Nugget is an amazing bush plant with all the squash fruits setting in a cluster at the base of the plant – as many as 10 on each!
  • The fruits from Gold Nugget squash seeds are small, round, orange fruits weigh 500-700g (1 – 1.5lb) and have golden flesh that keeps well.
  • Wait until the skin is no longer shiny to pick them.
  • Plant this variety slightly closer together in your squash patch as this is a real space saver. But leave room to get in between plants because the small buttercup fruits really do cling to the base of each plant.
  • Matures in 85 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.
