“cucurbita pepo. U.S. Grown seed. Organic. Germination 93%.”
SPAGHETTI SQUASH is very easy to grow from seed. They need a lot of room. This is a big, thick vine with huge leaves. Kinda like a pumpkin vine. Medium to heavy water, a little organic fertilizer if needed. These take about 90 days to maturity. You should harvest spaghetti squash when its color has changed to yellow, or more appropriately, golden yellow. In addition, harvest should take place prior to the winter’s first heavy frost. Always cut from the vine rather than pulling and leave a few inches of the stem attached. Spaghetti squash is rich in Vitamin A, iron, niacin and potassium and is an excellent source of fiber and complex carbohydrates. It can be baked or boiled, making it a great side dish or even main entrée for dinner. The best part is, if you grow it yourself, you can grow it organically and consume food that is free from harmful chemicals, and 10 times more delicious. 30+ seeds per order.
