Growing Tips

IMPORTANT - When planting Squash, choose an area where you have not planted squash or related crops within the past 2 years.

If starting indoors, make sure to harden off the seedlings by introducing them to the outside weather conditions for several hours per day for at least a week before transplanting.

When the soil temperature reaches an average of 60°F, you can transplant or directly sow your squash seeds. We recommend planting squash in the same way that you would plant pumpkins (mound planting).  Plant two squash plants per hill, separate the hills by about 8-10’ apart.

Squash can be companion planted with corn, but you should avoid planting your squash near potatoes.

Place a layer of mulch under your squash plants to control moisture and prevent weeds. This will also protect the squash from too much ground moisture and keep the fruit clean.

You should start pinching off many of the blooms during midsummer to allow the plant to focus energy on the squash production of only a few fruits per plant.

Culinary Uses

Butternut squash has a sweet and nutty taste (like a pumpkin). The butternut squash is great when roasted, sautéed, toasted, or even pureed for soups.

When pureed or mashed, the butternut squash is great to use in casseroles, muffins, breads and even pies. The butternut squash is in the same family as pumpkins.

Harvesting Crops

If you would like an earlier squash harvest, you may select a few squashes before full maturity in the summer.

Like a pumpkin, squash can be harvested as soon as its stem becomes dry and you are unable to pierce the skin of the squash with your fingernail.

Squashes do not like cold weather and frost will damage your squash.

Make sure that when you harvest your squash, you use a sharp knife or garden shears to cut them from the vine.

Cut the squash off the vine with about 2-3” of stem length remaining on the top of the pumpkin. Allow the stem to harden and shrivel by sun curing your harvest. Squash will keep well if kept in a 45-50°F location and can last for months.

 

Harvesting Seed

Once the squash has been cured, the stem is dried and the skin is unable to be pierced, you are able to harvest the seeds.

Harvesting squash seed is like that of harvesting pumpkin seeds. Cut the squash open and remove the seeds with the pulp. Separate the seeds from the pulp with a colander and running water. Place the seeds in a bowl of water to continue separating the rest of the pulp. The seeds you will want to harvest are the ones that sink.

 

Make sure to dry the seeds thoroughly by laying flat on a large paper towel and turning or stirring them up frequently to make sure both sides have completely dried. Safely store you seeds to use in your next crop. Squash seeds are viable for up to four years depending on your storage method.

Cute but run big
Special Size: 7" Inseam with Pockets, Size: X-Large, Color: Flamingo Pink
Color is fantastic. Very naked feeling. Runs big. I’m a size 12/14 and usually wear XL with them sometimes feeling tight. I am pear shaped - 35” waist, 47” hip and these fit but were quite loose in the waist. I might consider sizing down if I wanted to tighter. They would be very a bump-friendly non-maternity option

Fabulous!
Special Size: 19" Capri with Pockets, Size: X-Small, Color: Flamingo Pink
These are AMAZING! Just received my first two pairs ( black and flamingo pink) and I am back ordering more! They are so smooth and soft and feel great! They fit so well-not to restrictive but have strength enough in the Lycra to look amazing (not the thin, flimsy, cheap tights/leggings). I live in the Sunshine State so I can wear these to workout and run indoor or outdoor practically year round. I prefer this shorter length because they are cooler to wear in the 95° heat 100% humidity. So hoping they make these in the green color and the bright blue color that is available in the full length active leggings! These are my new favorite crop active leggings! Please, please, please make more colors! Amazon, these are fabulous quality and style and at this price point, I'd buy every color and pattern available (I just don't do flesh tones).

Super comfortable fabric and launders well.
Special Size: 19" Capri with Pockets, Size: Large, Color: Taupe
Super soft fabric with a nice high waist that does not seem to rolll down when exercising, Yeah! As always I love a good cell phone pocke. After the comfortable fit I also ordered the Slate Blue version. BTW, I have had 2 knee replacements so this below the knee length is a perfect solution for my vanity issues!.

Great product and quality!
Special Size: 19" Capri with Pockets, Size: Medium, Color: Slate Grey
I got the matching sports bra for these and I love the set together and honestly really liked the shorter leggings. The quality is incredible and super comfortable. For the amount I spent on this set it was absolutely worth it. The material is definitely thick enough so they are squat proof but they fit a little loose. I think I would size down one size if I bought another color in these. Overall great product!

THESE
Special Size: 19" Capri without Pockets, Size: X-Small, Color: Navy
I love these leggings! Purchased Navy seriously I have had a gazillion brands, styles types, ie. flare, etc. over my legging years of which there are many. These are the best so far. Perfect for ME. I am 112lbs. 5'1" so not 'normal human size' as my kids say. The small is perfect. Hits 'capri' length on my smaller frame a little longer for me so yay for that too. These are super good quality and I am picky about leggings. They are better than Costco WHAT? Yes they are. **NOTE: These do NOT have a phone pocket which I was also looking for. I am over phone pockets for now. These you could dress up for a night out. Buying every color. The price point is low-so were my expectations. But VOILA! These were a super surprise. Happiness is my Amazon delivery human.
