How to Plant and Maintain

• Germination and growth: generally count 7 to 14 days for germination depending on soil temperature. Vines spread and require regular watering without standing water.
• Maintenance tips: mulch around plants to retain moisture and limit weeds; lightly stake plants in windy areas and monitor for signs of water stress or common diseases.
• Support and space: if space is limited, opt for a trellis system to guide the stems and facilitate harvesting.

• Harvest: Butternut squash are mature when the skin becomes hard and the stem dries. Cut them with a small portion of the stem to extend their storage life.
• Storage: store in a cool, dry place. The fruits will keep for several weeks, or even months, depending on the conditions. Unused seeds can be replanted the following season if they have been well-dried and stored.
