Growing Waltham Butternut Winter Squash

‘Waltham Butternut’ is an award-winning open-pollinated winter squash and 1970 All-America Selections Winner prized for its thick flesh and classic sweet, nutty flavor.

My Butternut squash leaves look burned or brown yet planted as the same as the spaghetti squash in miracle grow potting soil.
My spaghetti squash is much better growing then the Butternut squash. Very disappointed

To early, too soon

Planted this delicious squash in Fall. Got a dozen off six vines until the change of weather started. Need more sunlight in the South for these species during Fall. Spring, April 1, 2025, these seeds will be six inches underground.
