WEST COAST SEEDS SQUASH DELICATA

  • C. pepo. Try Delicata squash seeds for a mild tasting, thin-skinned, delicate squash.
  • The smallish 15 x 8cm (6 x 3 inch) fruits on this sometimes sprawling plant will store well for months after harvesting. Sweet and lovely.
  • Delicata squash fruits are oblong and creamy white, striped with green bands.
  • They have a very sweet, appealing flavour that people frequently compare with sweet potatoes.
  • Allow the fruits to ripen fully on the vines, but harvest before frost.
  • Give each fruit a wipe with a weak bleach solution, and then store in a cool, dry place and enjoy the squash all winter long.
  • Matures in 100 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.
