Planting – Sow seeds 1/2 an inch to 1 inch deep into hills or rows, placing 4 to 5 seeds per hill. Spacing – Keep hills 4 to 8 feet apart, depending on the squash size. Thinning – When plants reach 2 to 3 inches tall, thin to 2 to 3 plants per hill. In rows, sow seeds 6 to 12 inches apart, thinning to one plant every 18 to 36 inches.

Heirloom Table Queen Winter Acorn Squash Seeds Harvesting Instructions When the stems turn a light green-yellow color, the squash should be fully ripe. The rind will be thick and tough. Cut, do not pull, the ripe fruit from the plant; 2 to 3 inches of stem must remain for proper storage. This may increase the sugar content!   Saving Heirloom Table Queen Winter Acorn Squash Seeds These seeds are insect pollinated. Take caution unless you are hand pollinating, as many summer squash varieties are the same species as many pumpkins and winter squashes. Different varieties of the same species need to be isolated by 1/4 mile to prevent cross-pollination. Barriers such as tree lines, woods, or buildings existing between the fields can reduce this distance. Treat summer squash the same as usual for winter storage of squashes and pumpkins, allowing summer squash varieties to grow to a large size with a hard outside skin. After all squashes have reached this stage, harvest and let them sit for a period of after-ripening for 3 to 6 weeks or up to several months. Remove the seeds, rinse in water, and dry. Use of a 1/2 inch and 1/4 inch screen can help with cleaning. Squash seeds remain viable for 6 years under cool and dry storage conditions.
