Waltham Butternut Squash Seeds.

Waltham Butternut Squash Seeds| Heirloom | NON GMO 15 Seeds Look for a sunny spot in your garden to plant your Waltham Butternut Squash. Butternut squash plants need at least 6 to 8 hours of sunlight per day. Prepare the soil by removing any weeds or debris. Add compost or manure to the soil to improve its drainage and fertility. Warm the soil up to at least 65 degrees Fahrenheit before planting. You can do this by covering the planting bed with black plastic mulch for a few weeks before planting. Sow the seeds directly in the ground, 1 inch deep and 2-3 feet apart. You can also start seeds indoors 2-3 weeks before your last frost date, and transplant them outdoors when the soil is warm enough. Thin the seedlings to one plant per hill. Do this when the seedlings have two or three true leaves. Water your Waltham Butternut Squash plants regularly, especially during hot weather. Water deeply once a week, or more often if the weather is hot and dry. Fertilize your plants every two weeks w
