Description

The listing, Homegrown Banana Squash seeds! 10 seeds! has ended.

These banana squash seeds are from squashes that are over 2 feet in length! They grow so big that the grocery stores sell them already cut up! These squash will last over the winter or can be processed and frozen for future use. We love them and are still eating them right now. This auction is for 10 seeds and you will never have to buy them again as only one squash will give you a couple of cups of seeds and you will get plenty of squash from just one plant! FREE SHIPPING of course! Last pic if of one at the grocery store. Usually they are sold cut up only.

Questions & Comments

DTM? (days to maturity? Acceptable/will grow in all zones?

The fruit takes at least 120 days for maturation. Sow the seed in planting soil at a depth of ¾ to 1 inch deep and water them in well. Germination will occur between 9-14 days. Once the banana squash plants have two or three sets of leaves, they can be transplanted 9-12 inches apart. It grows here in Idaho but the shoots will die if too cold like other shoots. It is easily grown here and withstands the heat which can be considerable here. the seeds are heirloom and they are not normally sold except to large growers. Does this help?

The squash can weigh up to 40 lbs each! YUM! You can use them like any other winter squash in savory dishes as boiled, fried, and roasted, but can also be used in pies!

Yes, Thank you. All I can do is try, as far as growing it. It sounds like a great veggie for food security, If one can get some to grow.

Growing them is easy, just like other squash. Problem would be place as they take lots of room. Fertilize when first planting, none after as you would be just fertilizing the green part of the plant. :)
