Seed Count 5 VEGETABLE SQUASH DELICATA HONEYBOAT VEGETABLE SQUASH DELICATA HONEYBOAT. A real improvement on the standard delicate producing heavy crops of what must be one of the sweetest squashes available. The fruits are super sweet with firm, deep orange flesh ideal for roasting or soup. The variety stores well into spring with the green stripes fading as they need to eaten. Can be left to ground trail or grown up a trellis in smaller spaces. Cultivation Advice VEGETABLE SQUASH DELICATA HONEYBOAT A sunny spot protected from strong winds is essential. The soil must be well drained & rich in humus, the more the better. I fill each hole at least 12 square with garden compost & paper at the bottom into which goes a single plant. For bush varieties 24in between each plant is fine - 48in for vines. Many winter Squash / Pumpkins like to sprawl out & need plenty of space. Vining Squash / Pumpkins require a larger area to run, whilst semi-vining & bush varieties of winter squash / courgette can be well contained. If space is tight just keep turning the branches back to the centre to prevent spreading & over-running other plants. Vegetable - Squash Delicata Honeyboat 5 Premium Quality Seeds
