Sugar Loaf Hessel Squash Seeds

Be the first to review this product

100 days. Cucurbita pepo. Open Pollinated. Sugar Loaf Hessel Squash. This bush plant produces excellent yields of high-quality 1 to 2 lb delicata squash. It is a popular squash variety, prized as one of the sweetest winter squash varieties, with a rich, intense flavor reminiscent of sweet potatoes. Sugar Loaf Squash is a sister variety to Honey Boat Squash, with a similar tan color and green stripes, but a shorter, blockier shape. Stores well for months. Dr. James Baggett of Oregon State University bred it with thicker-walled improved lines, and it yields more than the original. Suitable for small gardens. A variety from the USA.

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.
