This listing is for 25+ Butternut Squash seeds.

Butternut is one of many different kinds of winter squash, with a distinctive pale yellow and pear-shaped fruit. Inside, the firm flesh is orange and distinctly sweet.
Never eaten raw, but the flesh can be cooked in a variety of ways once the seeds have been scooped out. Baked or roasted is the most common.

Butternut squash need warm soil to germinate so you are better off starting seeds indoors using a seed starting mat or if the weather's heating up you can also direct seed outside once the weather warms up. Each butternut squash plant should produce several large squash with the right conditions. Like cucumbers, squash vines will first have a round of male-only flowers come to bloom before the female ones do. Regarding harvest, a mature butternut squash will be fine after a light frost, but it's best to harvest before your frost date. After a frost squash won’t store as long though they will still cook up just fine.

Days to germination: 5 to 10 days
Days to harvest: 90 to 100 days
