Plant seeds 1 inch deep in hills or rows, spacing 24-36 inches apart. For earlier harvests, start seeds indoors 3-4 weeks before the last frost and transplant carefully. Provide consistent moisture, especially during flowering and fruit development, but avoid overhead watering to reduce disease risk. Mulch around plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHoneynut squash requires full sun and fertile, well-drained soil. Fertilize at planting and again when vines begin to run. Monitor for common pests like squash bugs and cucumber beetles. Harvest when fruits are fully colored and the rind is hard, typically 100-110 days after planting. Cure fruits in a warm, dry place for 7-10 days to enhance storage life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e25 Honeynut Squash Seeds\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67795600965942,"sku":"FOLIA2-639","price":27.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.7101931252_9cye.jpg?v=1792671870","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/25-honeynut-squash-seeds-sweet-mini-butternut-heirloom-winter-squash-for-garden-planting","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
