Growing Honeynut (Organic) in the Vegetable Garden

Start indoors 3-4 weeks before transplanting or sow directly outdoors once soil has warmed past 65 F. Sow seeds 1 inch deep, spacing plants 8-12 feet apart in rows 4-5 feet apart. Provide sturdy support or allow vines to sprawl. Consistent moisture is essential for fruit development.

Mulching helps retain soil moisture and reduce weeds. Honeynut benefits from fertile soil enriched with compost. Companion planting with corn and beans can help maximize space and soil health.

Harvesting Honeynut (Organic)

Harvest when the skin has turned a rich, deep orange and the stem begins to dry. Cure in a warm, dry, well-ventilated space for 10-14 days before storage. Properly cured Honeynuts will store for several months. Perfect for roasting whole, halved, or cubed.

Stories From Our Gardeners

"Honeynut Organic winter squash is a small but mighty heirloom variety that delivers incredible flavor, beauty, and ease of growing all in one package. The plants grow in a bushy, manageable form, making them perfect for home gardens, raised beds, or smaller plots, and they won’t take over like some sprawling winter squash vines. The fruits are small, pear-shaped, and a deep golden-orange color, making them as attractive in the garden as they are on the plate. Their petite size means they are easy to handle and cook. Despite their small size, Honeynuts pack a rich, sweet, nutty flavor that is often described as a cross between pumpkin and butternut, with a smooth, creamy texture that’s perfect for roasting, soups, purees, and even baking. Harvest before the first frost, cure in a warm, dry spot for a week or two, and then store in a cool, dry location. The squash will keep for months, allowing you to enjoy its flavor well into winter. This variety is also extremely productive, giving gardeners a steady supply of fruits throughout the season with minimal fuss. Honeynut Organic is a favorite for both its reliable yields and its concentrated, sweet taste, making it a standout winter squash for anyone who wants an heirloom that’s easy to grow, flavorful, and perfectly sized for small families or individual meals."
