{"product_id":"blue-hubbard-squash-102-days-1","title":"Blue Hubbard Squash (Organic 102 Days)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Blue Hubbard Squash is a New England favorite (a less refined version was introduced by James Gregory of Marblehead, Massachusetts in 1856, but it had been grown in the area since the 1700s) that is not for those with limited space. Long vines produce good yields of powdery blue, oval squash with a hard shell and firm, dry, yellow flesh, some in excess of 20 pounds. Storage qualities are exceptional and of course one will provide a number of meals. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e15 seeds\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: #61962d;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0972\/6282\/files\/MOFGA_Organic_Cert-04_RGBweb-1_50x50.png?v=1602182332\" alt=\"Blue Hubbard Squash (Organic 102 Days)\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: #659e2c;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePLANTING\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eCucurbita mamixa\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGermination:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7-10 days\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003eGermination Temperature: \u003c\/b\u003eOptimum soil temperatures 70-85\u003cb\u003eº\u003c\/b\u003eF\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeed Sowing Depth: \u003c\/strong\u003e1\/2-1\" deep\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSowing Indoors:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3-4 weeks before the last frost. Provide \u003cspan\u003e70-85\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eº\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003eF\u003c\/span\u003e soil temperature. \u003cspan\u003eSow 2-3 seeds per cell\/pot. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSowing into individual biodegradable peat\/cow pots reduces root \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003edamage when transplanting.

Determine ripeness when the skin has turned color and becomes dull dry. You will be unable to create a dent when pressing your thumbnail into it. Leave two inches of the stem on the squash and manage carefully so there is no damage that can shorten storage life. Cure for 7-10 days in the sun to harden the rind and increase storage quality. Wipe any debris off the skin before storing it in a cool dark place with 50-55ºF temperatures and 50-65% humidity.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTips:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Plant Blue Hubbard Squash in fertile soil, amended with compost or well-rotted manure, and keep well watered.
