Squash-Winter - Waltham Butternut
Special Care: Old time gardeners recommend squash be planted with beans, corn, sunflowers, marigolds, nasturtiums, radishes or mint. Keep away from potatoes. Seeding into a black plastic mulch is HIGHLY recommended because it 1) keeps down weeds, 2) traps moisture, 3) warms the soil. Also, floating row covers are highly recommended for squash during the early days of their lives. Not only do they warm up the soil, but they also protect the young plants from squash vine borer and cucumber beetles...

Waltham Butternut Winter Squash
(That's not actually my name.) Wow. I myself don't like squash, but the rest of my family does, and they loved it. We even froze some for Thanksgivivg(even though it was harvested 2 months before)! It was the first time we grew squash, so we were puzzled as to why the seed packet said to plant them 6 feet apart. We ignored that and planted them 4 feet apart. The plant invaded the rest of our garden and almost invaded the neighbor's yard. Even though, it was still really fun to grow.
