B&Q - Winter Squash Baked Potatoes 1 Packet (12 Seeds)

Thompson & Morgan

Enjoy a burst of earthy flavours with creamy notes when you grow the Thompson and Morgan Winter Squash Baked Potatoes Seeds, offering a wholesome and low-calorie alternative to traditional potatoes. You'll find every packet contains 12 seeds ready to thrive in full sun, reaching up to 60cm in height and spreading to 100cm when fully established. With each squash packed with fibre, vitamin C, potassium and magnesium, it supports a healthy heart and brings nutritious goodness to your garden from August to November. The packet will include clear growing instructions, so you can confidently sow indoors or outdoors and enjoy a rewarding harvest season after season. Sow squash seed indoors from April to May for transplanting later on. Sow squash seeds on their sides in small 7.5cm pots of seed compost at a depth of about two centimetres. Place in a propagator or seal pots inside a plastic bag at a temperature of 20-25°C (68-77F) until germination, which takes five to seven days. Do not exclude light, as this helps germination. Once germinated, grow squash on in cooler conditions until all risk of frost has passed and squash plants are large enough to be transplanted outdoors. Gradually acclimatise them to outdoor conditions over seven to ten days before planting squash outdoors in warm, well-drained, humus-rich soil in full sun. Choose a spot that receives at least six hours of direct sun per day. Alternatively, direct sow squash seeds outdoors from May once the soil has warmed at a depth of two centimetres and a distance of 90cm apart. Sow two seeds per hole and thin out the weakest seedling per station after germination. Ideally, grow under cloches until squash plants are established. Product Specifications: Position: Full sun.
