Aimers Organics Squash Table Queen Pkg.

Approximately 20 seeds/pkt (10-12 seeds/gram)

Introduced in 1913, Table Queen squash is a favourite of Thanksgiving tables everywhere. The hard, dark green-coloured fruit averages about 15 cm in diameter and harbours a very tasty, sweet, pale yellow flesh. Take our word for it, the flesh tastes best when oven-roasted. This is a productive variety with over a hundred years of history. A great keeper!

Squash is a hot-weather crop. They need full sun and deep, rich, well-drained, organic soil with a pH of 5.5 to 6.5. Before planting, work in lots of compost. Directly plant seed outdoors from late May to mid June 2.5 cm deep in hills 2.4 m apart with 4-6 seeds per hill. After germination, thin to 3 plants per hill. Seed can be started indoors 3 weeks before the plant-out date. Squash does not transplant well. Use paper or fibre pots that can be set directly in the soil. Protect mature squash from frost and cold temperatures. Germination occurs in 7-10 days.
