Plant in full sun in deep, rich soil with plenty of organic matter and water heavily and evenly. Squash are frost sensitive, so use mulch to warm soil and row covers to protect from frost. Harvest when stems shrivel or the skin resists a thumbnail, leaving 2 to 3 inches of stem, then cure in the sun for 10 days and store cool and dry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFlavor profile\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSweet and nutty with smooth, tender flesh that pairs well with butter and warm spices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout Grow Organic\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrow Organic, also known as Peaceful Valley, has supplied seeds, tools, and growing supplies to organic gardeners and farmers since 1976.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Grow Organic","offers":[{"title":"Pack","offer_id":50394529104150,"sku":"SNV8251","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1\/4 lb","offer_id":50394529136918,"sku":"SNV8251B","price":38.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0832\/5555\/8422\/files\/organic-squash-winter-table-queen-acorn.jpg?v=1755812403","url":"https:\/\/madelines.sbs\/products\/table-queen-acorn-winter-squash-seeds-organic","provider":"Madeline's","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
