This versatile squash is easy to grow and stores well, providing a bountiful harvest in the fall.
With its mild, slightly sweet flavor and firm texture, spaghetti squash is a favorite among home gardeners and cooks alike. The plants produce vigorous vines and large, oval fruits with pale yellow skin. Whether you're roasting, baking, or microwaving, this squash offers a fun and healthy way to enjoy a pasta-like meal.

Planting & Care
Sow spaghetti squash seeds directly outdoors after the last frost date, when soil temperatures have warmed to at least 60°F (15°C). Plant seeds 1 inch deep in hills or rows, spacing them 24-36 inches apart. Provide full sun and well-drained soil rich in organic matter. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, especially during flowering and fruit development.
As vines grow, you can train them to climb a trellis or allow them to sprawl on the ground. Mulching helps retain moisture and suppress weeds. Harvest fruits when the skin is hard and cannot be easily pierced with a fingernail, typically before the first frost. Cure the squash in a warm, dry place for about a week to improve storage life.
