This vigorous annual develops long trailing vines that spread across the vegetable garden. In summer, its large yellow flowers attract bees, bumblebees and other pollinators, supporting good fruit set. Harvest when the skin is evenly beige and firm. The squash offers excellent culinary versatility and stores well through fall and winter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrow this squash in full sun, in rich, organic matter–amended, moist, well-drained soil. Direct-sow from May to June once the soil has warmed and the risk of frost has passed. Allow plenty of room for the trailing vines to spread; a very large container can also work in a warm, sunny location. Water deeply and regularly to encourage uniform, flavourful fruit. Compost, generous mulch and good air circulation support its vigorous growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIdeal for large vegetable gardens, kitchen gardens and food self-sufficiency projects, ‘Butternut’ produces versatile fruit that keeps for several months in a cool, dry place. Its velvety flesh is delicious in soups, purées, casseroles, roasted dishes, sauces, risottos and comforting autumn recipes. Pair it with beets, celery, onions, potatoes and thyme in a diverse garden. Abundant flowers feed pollinators, while the foliage helps cover the soil in a productive, thriving garden.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Biologiquement vôtre","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52108221448352,"sku":"BIOV-SEMENCES","price":4.49,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0655\/3878\/5440\/files\/courge-butternut.png?v=1770395566","url":"https:\/\/www.pepiniere.ca\/en\/products\/organic-butternut-squash","provider":"Pépinière.ca","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
