Everwilde Farms Vegetable Spaghetti Winter Squash Seeds

The squash is ready to harvest when the rind is hard and the color has turned a deep, solid yellow. You should be able to press your fingernail into the skin without it puncturing easily, and the stem should look dry and woody.

Because this variety produces vigorous vines that spread up to 120 inches, it is not well-suited for small containers. It performs best when direct-sown in a large garden bed where the vines have plenty of room to sprawl.

After harvesting, cure the squash in a warm, dry, and well-ventilated area for about 10 to 14 days to harden the rind. Once cured, store them in a cool, dry place like a pantry or basement, where they can last up to six months.

These are an heirloom, open-pollinated variety. This means you can save the seeds from your harvest to plant again next season, and they will grow true to the parent plant.

While you can start them indoors, this variety is best suited for direct sowing. Wait until the soil has thoroughly warmed up in the spring and all danger of frost has passed before planting the seeds directly into your garden soil.
