Organic Giant Squash Uchiki Kuri (Hokkaido)

Description

At harvest, fruits can weigh 1.5kg. Squash grow particularly well on the compost heap. Pre-cultivation in pots is preferable to direct seeding.

After germination, make sure access to light is not hindered. Squash prefer loose, humus-rich, warm soil in a sunny, protected location. They need lots of water and warmth (consider using black plastic mulch).

Sow 2-3 seeds per 9 cm pot or per plot station. Only leave the strongest plants. Harvest once a diameter of 10-12 cm has been reached.
