Growing Organic Hubbard Baby Green Winter Squash in the Vegetable Garden
Sow seeds 1 inch deep after frost when soil is warm, or start indoors 3 to 4 weeks early in biodegradable pots to minimize root disturbance. Space plants 36 to 48 inches apart with 60 to 72 inches between rows to allow vigorous vines to run; mulch to conserve moisture and keep fruits clean.
Water steadily during flowering and fruit set. Side-dress with compost or a balanced fertilizer as vines begin to run. Encourage pollinators and train vines to maintain airflow and ease of harvest.
Harvesting of Organic Hubbard Baby Green Winter Squash
Harvest when rinds are hard, fully colored, and stems are dry and corky—before hard frost. Cut fruit, leaving 2 to 3 inches of stem. Cure for 10 to 14 days in a warm, dry, well-ventilated place around 80 to 85 F, then store in a cool, dry place. Properly cured fruits keep for months.
