Table Queen Acorn Winter Squash
Price: $2.95
SKU: 3370061Here in the Maritime Northwest, it is common to plant seeds in hills. The hills are created by mounding up the soil about four to six inches high, twenty-four inches across at the base and flattened on the top. This allows the soil to be better warmed by the sun and provides better protection from heavy rain.
Sow five to six seeds, one inch deep, in hills or rows. Spacing is dependent on plant type. Vining varieties should be spaced on six foot centers while bush-types at twenty-four to thirty inches apart. When seeds germinate, cut off all but the strongest three or four seedlings.
When laying out your garden, remember to consider the growing habits of the varieties that you are planting. Some bush-types are compact while some vining types require a tremendous amount of space. Harvest time will also vary by type.

I grow these every year because their season is so short that I'm guaranteed a crop. They store decently well, not as well as some other varieties but are good for a few months.

This was a new plant to grow in 2013. I grew this plant with my corn and other winter squashes. I planted the seeds in mounds. I mulch my gardens and the vines grow very nicely with the corn. I put out 3 mounds and got about 20-30 squash. These are very easy to cook and have a nice taste. I didn't process these but am storing them in cold storage. They are still doing great in January storing them in a cool area. I feed them to my chickens as well as cook with them. Very easy to grow and they make nice fall decorations as well.
