Growing Cushaw White in the Vegetable Garden

Sow seeds 1 inch deep in warm soil after the danger of frost has passed. Space plants 8-12 ft apart, with rows 8-12 ft apart. Starting indoors 3-4 weeks before transplanting can extend the growing season.

Keep soil evenly moist, use mulch to conserve moisture, and regularly check for pests. Provide ample space for vining habits.

Harvesting Cushaw White

Harvest mature squash when the rind is hard and the color is fully developed, usually 80-120 days after planting. Cut fruit from the vine with a sharp knife, leaving a few inches of stem attached to improve storage life.

Stories From Our Gardeners

"Cushaw White Winter Squash is a classic winter squash variety recognized by its large, curved neck and creamy white skin that is smooth and firm. It grows on long, sprawling vines that flourish in warm, sunny gardens with well-drained soil and plenty of space to spread. Cushaw White requires a long growing season, usually about 90 to 120 days, to reach full maturity. This squash is harvested in the fall when the rind hardens and the fruit develops its rich flavor. Like other winter squashes, Cushaw White has a tough outer shell that protects the sweet, dense flesh inside, allowing it to store well for several months in a cool, dry place. The flesh has a mild, sweet, and slightly nutty taste with a creamy texture that makes it perfect for baking, roasting, soups, and pies. Its unique shape and flavor have made it a favorite among home gardeners and cooks who enjoy hearty, nutritious squash throughout the fall and winter. The plant produces large yellow flowers that attract pollinators like bees, helping to ensure a good fruit set. Growing Cushaw White requires patience due to its long season, but the reliable harvest and delicious flavor make it worth the wait. It is also packed with vitamins A and C, making it a healthy addition to meals during the colder months"
