With Living Seeds’ organic Waltham butternut squash seeds, you’ll be bringing a particularly aromatic and versatile squash variety into your garden. The climbing plants produce pear-shaped, cream-coloured fruits with a thin skin and firm, bright orange flesh – perfect for soups, oven-baked dishes, purées or as a delicious side dish. The fruits weigh between 1 and 2 kg and, once harvested late in the season, can be stored for several months without any problems, so you can enjoy your own organic squash even in winter. For successful sowing, we recommend direct sowing or transplanting from March to June; alternatively, you can start them off in trays as early as February. Ensure a germination temperature of 20–25 °C to produce vigorous plants. Once harvested from July to October, you can use the butternut squash in a variety of ways: whether as a creamy soup, roasted in the oven, stuffed or as an ingredient in autumnal salads – there are no limits to your creativity. Living Seeds’ organic seeds stand for the highest quality and sustainable cultivation, so you can enjoy squash that is not only healthy but also environmentally friendly.
