Product Review
Grow a garden filled with Blue Hubbard Squash, from freshly harvested Cucurbita maxima seeds. Blue Hubbard is a Winter Squash that produces oblong, tear shaped fruits. The outer skin of this variety is bumpy and thick, with a bluish gray tint. The inner flesh is a golden yellow and sweet, making it perfect for baking and steaming as well. The plants themselves grow 12 to 24 inches tall, and will vine outward, taking up about 6 feet of garden space. Your Blue Hubbard Squash will be ready for harvesting in roughly 110 days. Squash plants, like pumpkins, are grown as annual plants. Annuals will grow quickly, producing vines, leaves and fruits through the warm months of summer. After harvesting the Squash from it's vines, the plants will wilt soon after, with the first killing frost. Squash plants can be regrown the following season if you manage to save some of the seeds within the Squash itself.
