Squash Hybrid Celebration - Ontario Seed Company

cucurbita pepo

This beauty stands out in the garden with light yellow on orange sutures. Exceptional eating quality - fine grained light yellow flesh has a very sweet taste. Resistant to powdery mildew. Fruit averages 750g (1.5lbs.) and 10cm x 12cm (4" x 5") in size. This winter squash doesn't get the attention it should - which is a shame indeed!

How to Grow

Squash are a hot weather crop. They need full sun and deep, rich, well drained, organic soil with a pH of 5.5 to 6.5. Before planting, work in lots of compost. Directly plant seed outdoors from late May to mid June 2.5cm (1") deep in hills 2.4m (8') apart with 4-6 seeds per hill. After germination, thin to 3 plants per hill. Seed can be started indoors 3 weeks before the plant out date. Squash do not transplant well - use paper or fiber pots that can be set directly in the soil Protect mature squash from frost and cold temperatures.
