How to grow buttercup squash?

Soil maintenance: before sowing, loosen the soil on 30 cm.

Exposure: sunny and sheltered from the wind.

Sowing : at 3.5 cm deep in pits of 2 to 3 seeds. Thin out to leave only one plant every 90 cm and 130 cm between rows, then hoe and weed. At the time of sowing or transplanting in the garden, put in the planting hole a mixture of compost and manure. You can even sow directly on a compost pile.

Emergence: in 6 to 8 days in soil at 14°C.

Watering: copious watering but beware of stagnant humidity.

Harvest: harvest the squash in dry weather to ensure a better conservation.

Conservation : 3 to 6 months. An excess of nitrogenous fertilization hinders the conservation.

Origin: this species is native of the North of South America, it was introduced in Europe only after the voyages of Christophe Colomb in America, like all the squashes.
