Winter Squash Planting Information:

Winter Squash need warm weather to grow. It is best to plant seeds directly in the garden. Plant your seeds after the soil has warmed up. Thin so there are 4 plants per hill. Eight to 10 plants will provide more than enough for a large family. You can trellis squash to save space. Plants grow 2 ft tall, and vines spread up to 10 ft.

Soil Requirements:

Requires fertile, slightly acid soil in a well-drained location in the garden. Apply mulch, grass clippings, or straw around the base of the plant. Add well-composted manure.

Water Requirements:

Keep soil consistently moist, but not waterlogged. Water well during dry and hot spells.

Fertilizer Requirements:

Use Slow Release (6 Month) Fertilizer when transplanting outdoors. Apply Miracle-Gro Liquid Fertilizer every two weeks.

Harvest Tips:

Protect ripening winter squash from damp ground by placing them on boards. Cut winter squash carefully from the plants to prevent damaging the vines.

If you have limited garden space Argonaut squash is not for you, but my experience here in the Verdigris River Valley of Oklahoma has been that it is worth the space. Great taste, great color and very prolific. One squash will make about 12-15 servings for my wife and I. It freezes very well.

Never waste your time on ordinary butternuts again! These are HUGE, and while their season is long at 140 days, they ripen perfectly well off the vine. One of mine hung over both sides of my big microwave. They're gigantic, keep well into February in an ordinary heated kitchen and taste as good or better than any small butternut. Minimal seed cavity, too!
