About This

• Nutty-Sweet Flavor and Fine Texture: Waltham’s deep orange flesh offers rich, sweet, and nutty flavor with a creamy texture—ideal for roasting, soups, casseroles, and seasonal side dishes. The smooth skin is easy to peel, making prep quick and effortless.
• Dual-Use Versatility: Enjoy this butternut squash young as a tender summer squash or let it mature into a dense, vitamin-rich winter squash. Harvest early for mild flavor and edible skin or store the full-grown fruits for hearty, cool-weather meals.
• Organic and Pest-Resistant: Grown from certified organic seed, Waltham is well known for its strong natural resistance to vine borers. It's a top performer in both home gardens and larger plots, offering peace of mind and a healthier, more sustainable crop.
• Compact and Uniform Fruits: Each squash reaches 8–9 inches long and up to 4 inches in diameter at the bulb end. The uniform, light bulb-shaped fruits store well and stack neatly for long-term storage through the winter.
• Easy to Grow and Long-Lasting: Direct sow seeds 1 inch deep after the last frost in fertile, well-drained soil, spacing plants 4 to 6 feet apart. Harvest when vines die back or just before frost, then cure and store fruits at 50–55°F for months of delicious use.
