Growing Information
Growing Honey Boat Delicata Winter Squash
‘Honey Boat Delicata’ is an open-pollinated winter squash prized for its exceptionally sweet flavor and thin edible skin. Elongated fruits develop coppery skin striped with green and contain sweet, nutty flesh that requires no peeling.
Sow ‘Honey Boat Delicata’ directly in the garden about 1 inch deep and space plants 12 to 18 inches apart. Grow in full sun. This heat-tolerant variety develops tall vines and produces fruits weighing about a pound each.
Ready to harvest in about 95 days, pick fruits once fully mature and their characteristic coloring has developed. The squash also holds well after harvest while maintaining its sweetness.
Sweet, nutty, and convenient, ‘Honey Boat Delicata’ is excellent for slicing, roasting, baking, stuffing, and everyday cooking.
