In a perfect world me and the puggle would like to admit, we would love to be judges for vegetables at the State Fair and trust us, we’d cast the blue hubbard as the tastiest winter squash. Larger than the acorn, rounder than the butternut, sweeter than the spaghetti, these delicious beauties reaches the weight of 15-20 pounds, with a bumpy light blue/green rind, and vibrant yellow flesh. Set the oven at 420F, drizzle some EVO, and bake for about 1 hour when flesh is able to scoop like butter—and make delicious soup, side to rice, dish for ice cream, or even a prized pie.

 -These that are best direct seeded after last frost - depending on your planting zone: https://www.almanac.com/content/plant-hardiness-zones - approximately in our experiences 110 days to maturity -These winter nuts will store well in cool temperatures throughout up to late Spring.                                                                                             -Plant seeds 1” deep with bat guano/organic fertilizers, space 2.5ft apart and weed often when young and scratch in and water in fertilizer every other weak. We don’t suggest starting them indoors in pots, just put these babies in the ground                                                                                                     -Harvest once skin is difficult to pierce with fingernails IMO.                                                                                                          -Watch out for squash bugs (about 1/2” long and angular brown shape), pinch the orange eggs under the leaves often or be proactive or cover in insect barrier if the issue gets worse.  Minimum 15 seeds.
