Its salmon-colored skin with teal undertones pleases the eyes and its flaky, dry, sweet flesh satisfies the ole belly. Useful for a wide-ranging variety of cooking techniques--we love it for everything from pancakes to soup, muffins to pickling. Rare open-pollinated variety grows fruits that average 5-15 pounds!

Along with their sisters corn and beans, they spread throughout the western hemisphere through the loving care of Native Americans and by the time European colonizers arrived on the continent, many varieties of squash were being grown by farmers from the southwest to the northeast. We owe an enormous debt of gratitude to the original stewards of the nutrient-packed, long-keeping, healthy-seed-spawning miracle that is a squash! \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003ci data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eSeeds grown by Affinity Farm in Moscow, Idaho.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e10 seeds\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDirections:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e Direct seed after last frost, or start indoors 3-5 weeks before transplanting.

Let fruits sun-ripen for a week to ten days once harvested, but do not allow them to freeze while sun ripening. Can store close to a year with proper conditions (around 50 degrees F, around 70% humidity). Do not pile winter squash when storing long-term.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ePlanting Depth\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ePlant Spacing\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eDays to Germination\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eDays to Maturity\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e3\/4”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e36\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e7-10\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e90\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Snake River Seed Cooperative","offers":[{"title":"Packet","offer_id":50673456054530,"sku":"019962574269","price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1\/2 oz","offer_id":50673456087298,"sku":null,"price":10.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 oz","offer_id":50673456120066,"sku":null,"price":16.09,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1\/4 lb","offer_id":50673456152834,"sku":null,"price":44.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1\/2 lb","offer_id":50673456185602,"sku":null,"price":77.13,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0834\/6245\/5554\/files\/SquashLowerSalmonRiver3.jpg?v=1791341064","url":"https:\/\/zosfind.com\/products\/squash-lower-salmon-river","provider":"ZOSFIND","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
