Waltham Butternut Winter Squash Packet

Average Price:$1 —— 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...
