Grow an abundant, season-spanning harvest with this Squash Seed Collection from Survival Garden Seeds. Featuring five productive squash varieties—round zucchini, straightneck yellow summer squash, butternut, spaghetti, and acorn—this mix brings together both summer and winter squash for versatile cooking and reliable yields. These full sun annuals thrive in warm weather and provide a steady supply of tender summer squash and long-storing winter squash for year-round meals.

Five Delicious and Dependable Squash Varieties:

• Round Zucchini (pkg. wt. 3.5g) produces compact, easy-to-grow plants that form small round fruits about 2–3 inches wide. With green or yellow skin and a mild flavor, they are excellent for sautéing, grilling, stuffing, or enjoying fresh.
• Straightneck Yellow Summer Squash (pkg. wt. 2g) offers bright yellow, elongated fruits on highly productive plants. Its mild flavor works well raw in salads or cooked in countless dishes. Flowers are also edible and make a delightful early-summer treat when fried.
• Spaghetti Squash (pkg. wt. 2g) is a nutritious winter squash known for its stringy, noodle-like texture. Mild in flavor and high in fiber, it serves as a low-carb alternative to traditional pasta, with fruits typically reaching 2–5 pounds.
• Butternut Squash (pkg. wt. 2g) features tan skin, a classic bell shape, and vibrant orange flesh with a sweet, nutty flavor. This dependable winter squash stores for months when properly cured and works well in both savory and sweet recipes.
• Table King Acorn Squash (pkg. wt. 5g) is a compact heirloom variety producing several dark green, ribbed fruits per plant. Known for its rich, sweet flesh and reliable vigor, it fits beautifully into gardens of any size and stores well after harvest.

How to Grow:
Sow squash seeds outdoors after the last frost when soil has warmed thoroughly. Plant in full sun with rich, well-drained soil. Provide ample space for vining winter squash varieties or support if training on a trellis. Keep soil consistently moist, especially during flowering and fruit development. Harvest summer squash while young and tender; allow winter squash to mature fully on the vine before curing.

Harvest & Use:
Use summer squash for sautéing, grilling, spiralizing, stuffing, or adding freshness to salads. Enjoy winter squash roasted, mashed, baked, or added to soups and casseroles. Butternut and acorn squash store for months when cured, while spaghetti squash offers a unique noodle-like texture ideal for low-carb meals.
