Notes
'Butterbaby' butternut squash (Cucurbita moschata 'Butterbaby') is a vegetable for the food garden. It is typically grown as an annual. It is tender to cold, and the first hard frost will kill it. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, loamy soil. It climbs and grows at a rapid rate, so give the vines something to climb or room to spread. Plants bloom from early to late summer and the squash is ready about 100 days after planting.
