Squash Seeds

1 year (annual)

Not recommended for hydroponics. Grows best in soil – especially in self-watering planters.

Plant 1 site in a 16" (10 gal) container. For each site plant 2 seeds 1" deep.

Plant 1 site per squarefoot. For each site, plant 2 seeds 1" deep.

These plants will grow to be 10-12” and will reap 5” honeynut squashes.

Sweet and nutty, taste sort-of like a more flavorful butternut squash. These small but mighty cuties are also more nutritious than their big sister- they have a ton of vitamin A and a ton of beta-carotene.

Honeynut Squash is the brainchild of celebrity chef Dan Barber (have you seen his episode on Volume 1 of Chef’s Table?) and Cornell Plant Breeding and Genetics professor Michael Mazourek. They bred this squash to be packed with taste and nutrition and it worked!

Roast these babies with maple syrup for a sweet side or stuff them with cheese and veggies for a delicious entree.
