The Butternut squash produces elongated, pear-shaped fruits with a light brown outer wall and dense orange inner flesh. The flesh is soft and generally not fibrous. The fruits can grow up to 20 cm long and weigh about 2 kg. Each plant produces an average of 3 to 4 fruits. The squash originates from South America and is now cultivated worldwide in warm regions. Seeds can be sown outdoors from mid-May, or earlier indoors from mid-March for a richer harvest. The plant requires a sunny location and thrives in nutrient-rich soil. Regular watering and the use of a wooden board under the fruit to prevent rot are recommended. It takes about 2 months from germination to flowering and another month to fruit formation. Consider a slug fence to protect against snails. Re-sow the seeds the following year.
