Squash & Zucchini

Butternut, acorn, and green-striped squash are just a few of the many delicious varieties available to gardeners and chefs alike. These squashes are not only easy to grow but are also packed with essential nutrients, including vitamins A and C, fiber, and antioxidants. They come in various shapes and textures, allowing for a wide range of culinary applications. Depending on your specific harvest timeline and the number of days each variety takes to mature, squash can be planted in both the summer and winter seasons. Summer squash, such as zucchini and yellow squash, typically matures quickly and can be harvested within a few months. In contrast, winter squash varieties like butternut and acorn are usually planted in late spring and are harvested in the fall, allowing them to develop their rich flavors. Brands may vary due to availability.
