Cultivation: Prepare fertile, well-drained soil. Sow seeds in spring/summer after last frost in a warm, sunny location. Hill planting: Form soil into a 1-ft. diameter mound 3-4" tall. Space mounds 5-10' apart. On each mound plant 1-2 seeds. Row planting: See spacing info in chart. Keep soil moist. Fertilize as needed. Hand pollination may be necessary. The vine can be trained to climb a vertical support for better air circulation and ease of harvest or left to sprawl on the ground. After harvest, winter squash should be left in the sun for a few days to cure before storing.

Culinary tips: Cut squash in half and scoop out the seeds. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt. Bake cut side down on baking sheet. When done pull noodle-like flesh with fork. Add to soup, salad or enjoy the pure squash.
