Notes
'Early Butternut' squash (Cucurbita 'Early Butternut') 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 blooms from early to late summer. Plant it after the danger of frost has passed.
Pairs well with Carmen pepper, Armenian cucumber, and Holy basil.
