Organic Table Queen Acorn Squash Seeds - Cucurbita pepo

Non-GMO Open Pollinated Organic Table Queen Acorn Squash Seeds

Invite royalty to supper with the Table Queen! This majestic heirloom creates petite, soft-shelled fruits with small seed cavities and a glamorous emerald-green exterior.

Her highness elevates baked goods, pies, soups and roasted dishes with a rich texture and mild nutty flavor. Table Queen requires less room to thrive than other popular acorn squash varieties. When cured, fruits keep well for several months, with gorgeous orange interior color and sweetness deepening during storage. 

Harvest : 75-85 days. Harvest once rind is firm, and before a hard freeze. Be sure to cure squash in cool, dry location for better long-term storage success.

Plant in hills or mounds, sowing 3-5 seeds per hill/mound and spacing hills/mounds 24"-36" apart.

Save space by supporting plant with sturdy trellis.

Add compost to soil and mulch at base.

Protect fruit from damp ground by placing on boards. Provide good ventilation between plants to prevent mildew.

Keep soil moist as seeds are germinating. Water base of plant only. Do not waterlog.
