Product Description
Some people call Hubbard squash green pumpkin, and it's easy to see why it tastes much the same and can be used in all the same ways. Its big advantage is its potential as a winter crop, while true pumpkins are summer growers. Although it is a heritage variety, green Hubbard squash remains a favourite with commercial farmers. There is a more recent, golden version, but its flavour is not equal to the traditional form.

Growing Information
How to Sow
The winter in this squash’s name refers to its great storage potential. Sow it in spring for a summer harvest. Plant your seeds where they are to grow or start them in small pots, transplanting before they get too big.
How to Harvest
When the stems start to dry out, youll know your squash is ready to harvest. The skin should be too hard to scratch with a fingernail.
