Squash Butternut Waltham ( Cucurbita moschata ) 10 Seeds

Butternut Waltham produces gorgeous tan coloured crops.

 This half-hardy annual is best when picked as soon as it develops a deep tan shade.

Store cut crops somewhere cool and dry to enjoy them in the winter months.

Cut off from the stem when they're ready to harvest with a sharp knife.

Sow indoors from March to May or outside from late May to mid June.

Early sowings should be popped under cover with additional heat provided.

Try to keep seeds in 21C+ during germination.

Their soil must be well-drained and humus-rich - the more, the better.

 If you're struggling for space, keep turning the branches back to the centre to prevent spreading.
