Matures in 110 Days

Blue Hubbard Winter Squash produces large hard-shelled fruits that are gathered at maturity. Can be stored for a long time. Excellent baked or used as pie filling.

SOWING:
Plant seed outdoors in a sunny location after danger of frost is past or start indoors 4 to 6 weeks earlier. Make a group of 3 to 5 seeds placed in a ring about 2 inches across; cover with 1/2 inch of fine soil, well pressed down. Each ring of seeds is called a hill and hills should be spaced 6 to 8 feet apart each way.

THINNING:
When plants are 2 to 3 inches tall, thin leaving 3 or 4 strongest plants in each hill.

GERMINATION:
10 to 15 days depending on soil and temperature conditions.

REMARKS:
Allow fruits to remain on vine until fully mature. Gather before frost, leaving part of the stem attached to the fruit. Handle carefully and store in a moderately warm, dry place during the winter.
