Harris Seeds Squash Spaghetti Seeds

The seeds have been coated with a fungicide to protect them from soil-borne diseases and rot during the germination process. This treatment helps ensure a higher success rate for sprouting, especially in cooler or wetter soil conditions.

Vegetable Spaghetti is typically ready to harvest about 85 to 100 days after planting. You will know they are ripe when the rind turns a solid, deep yellow and is firm enough that you cannot easily dent it with your thumbnail.

While these squash plants are vigorous growers, they can be grown in large containers of at least 5 to 10 gallons. However, because they are vining plants, you will need to provide a sturdy trellis for them to climb or ensure you have enough space for the vines to spread across the ground.

To maximize their shelf life, cure the squash in a warm, dry, and well-ventilated area for about a week after harvest to harden the skin. Afterward, store them in a cool, dry place like a pantry or basement, where they can last for several months.

Because these specific seeds are treated with a fungicide, they are generally not suitable for certified organic gardening practices. If you are strictly following organic standards, you should look for untreated or organic-certified seed varieties.
