Growing Non-GMO Organic Goldetti Hybrid Winter Squash Vegetable Seeds

Sow seeds indoors 2-4 weeks before your last expected frost date, or direct sow 1 week after. Plant each seed about 1 inch deep in seed-starting mix, maintaining a temperature of 70-90 F to encourage germination within 7-14 days. Once seedlings develop two true leaves, harden them off by gradually introducing them to outdoor conditions over a week.

Transplant seedlings into the garden after the danger of frost has passed and soil temperatures reach at least 70 F. Space plants 24-36 inches apart in rows 48-72 inches apart to accommodate their semi-bush, vining growth habit. Ensure the soil is well-draining and rich in organic matter, with a pH between 6.0 and 6.8.

Goldetti F1 hybrid thrives in full sun, requiring at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily. Mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Fertilize with a balanced organic fertilizer every 3-4 weeks to support vigorous growth and fruit development.

Organic Goldetti Hybrid Winter Squash in the Vegetable Garden

Goldetti’s semi-bus, vining habit makes it suitable for smaller spaces, including raised beds. While not a traditional cover crop, its broad leaves can suppress weeds around taller crops like corn. Companion planting with herbs or flowers, like marigolds, can enhance pest control and pollination. This bushy vine grows much more upright than other squashes.

Harvesting Goldetti F1 Hybrid Organic Winter Squash

Harvest Goldetti Hybrid when the skin turns a deep golden-orange and resists puncture from a fingernail. Use sharp pruners to cut the fruit from the vine, leaving a 2-4 inch stem to prolong storage life. Handle fruits carefully to avoid bruising. After harvesting, cure the squash in a warm, dry place (80–85 F) for 7-10 days to harden the skin, then store in a cool, dry location (50–60 F) for up to six months.​

About Organic Goldetti Hybrid Winter Squash Garden Seeds

Goldetti Hybrid’s flesh separates into spaghetti-like strands when cooked, offering a low-carb alternative to traditional pasta. It's versatile in recipes, from simple buttered "noodles" to more elaborate dishes with sauces and vegetables.

Like other winter squashes, Goldetti F1 is rich in vitamins A and C, dietary fiber, and antioxidants.

To maximize yield, ensure consistent watering and avoid overhead irrigation to reduce the risk of fungal diseases. Rotate crops annually to prevent soil-borne diseases and consider using row covers to protect young plants from pests.

The Goldetti plant produces three or four fruits per plant.

Tips From Our Gardeners

"My biggest tip for growing squash is to get the water and fertilization right. Avoid over- or underwatering, and refrain from high-nitrogen amendments. It sounds simple, but it is surprisingly tricky to get it right, depending on the type of soil you’re working with. Soil tests can help!"
