From Hudson Valley Seed Company. Purchased in 2023.
Description and growing instructions below from Hudson Valley Seeds.
Easy to grow winter squash with bush habit.
A fall staple. This open-pollinated acorn squash is perfect for crisp fall days. It's the first to ripen and doesn't store as long as other squashes, so it's perfect for transitioning from summer fare into fall meals. Traditional preparation includes roasting and stuffing.
Plants are smaller than other winter squash types, making it a good choice for gardens with space limitations.
GROWING INSTRUCTIONS.
Direct sow after frost, or start indoors 2-3 weeks earlier. Transplant in hills spaced 6' apart, 3 plants per hill, or in rows 36" apart. Plants can grow 3-4 feet, so give plenty of space to take over. Mulch early to help suppress weeds. Harvest when squash are dark green. Store in a cool, dry, dark place for up to 2 months.
