Fordhook Acorn
Pepo squash

Fordhook Acorn

Ref : P2144 - Cucurbita pepo
Bag of 12 seeds

This ancient variety of acorn squash produces an abundance of atypical 1 kg fruits whose skin takes on a dark ochre color when fully ripe. Their firm flesh has a strong, pleasant flavor.

Sow in pots at 18-20°C, 2 to 3 weeks before planting. Transplant with the root ball into the ground, after the last frosts, at a minimum distance of 2 m in all directions. To sow directly in the ground, sow after the last frosts, once the soil has warmed up. In both cases, prepare holes filled with compost or organic matter two weeks in advance to accommodate your seedlings or seeds.
