Winter Spaghetti Squash Seeds (Organic)
Garden's Pasta Alternative
Winter Spaghetti Squash, scientifically classified as Cucurbita pepo, is a distinctive variety of winter squash recognized for its unique pasta-like flesh upon cooking. This cultivar has been selectively bred for its intriguing characteristics and culinary versatility, aligning with the growing interest in alternative, healthful food options.
The plant typically exhibits a sprawling vine growth, necessitating ample space in the garden. It flourishes under full sun exposure, in well-drained soil with a pH between 6.0 and 6.8. The squash itself, when mature, features a hard, pale to bright yellow shell, with an average weight ranging from 4 to 8 pounds.
Internally, the flesh of the Winter Spaghetti Squash is a vibrant yellow-orange. Upon cooking, it separates into strands resembling spaghetti, a characteristic that has made it a popular low-carb substitute for traditional pasta. The taste is mildly sweet and nutty, lending itself well to a variety of culinary applications, from savory dishes to desserts.
For optimal growth, planting should occur after the last frost of spring. The squash is ready for harvest in late summer or early fall, about 100 days post-planting. The skin should be hard and a deep yellow color. Post-harvest, curing the squash in a warm place for a week can enhance its sweetness and extend its shelf life. The Winter Spaghetti Squash, with its novel texture and taste, offers a nutritious and intriguing option for gardeners and cooks alike.

Planting & Growing: After all chance of frost has passed, plant 4-5 seeds in hills 6'-8' apart.
Harvesting & Storage: Spaghetti squash is ready to harvest when its skin color changes from cream to buff. Very easy to grow, it can be stored for 1-2 months in a cool dry location.

Working great
I bought these seeds to go in bundles of packets of vegetable seeds that I will put in the Blessing Box at a church here in town about late January so people who need to can supplement the groceries they buy with a garden. I'm sure they will love them. If my budget stretches that far, I will get some for myself and let you know how I like them. I still have eight bundles worth of packets of seeds to purchase for them first, though.
