Hokkaido & Butternut 2024Updated: April 19th, 2024
Created: April 16th, 2024Though I'm not a lover of squash I cultivate two varieties; there were times I did like them.
I also use the Hokkaido seeds by opening them by finger nail, which is consuming and uncomfortable work, and somewhat unrealistic for the few Butternut seeds that are viable.

Hokkaido
I keep the seeds of the previous year most of which I hull and eat. A dozen or so fat and healthy looking seeds I keep to sow. I sowed 9 this year.
Butternut
The seeds used were bought and a few years old. The fruit usually has few viable seeds which are kept. However I deem them too small to hull for food.
