Italian Winter Squash Seeds - Open-Pollinated. Marina di Chioggia is a stunningly beautiful variety with deep ridges and bumps. Variability in color adds to its charm, ranging from aquamarine to very dark green, many with bumpy textures. Though fruits grow quite large, averaging 15 lb, they have such eye appeal that growers report they are hot sellers. As delectable as they are handsome, even those harvested in 2009’s horrific squash year won accolades from our staff for their dense moist texture, rich sweetness and real substance. Delicious baked, in pies; ideal for gnocchi and ravioli

PLANTING: Prepare fertile, well-drained soil. Sow seeds in late spring/early summer after last frost in a warm, sunny location. Seeds will rot if soil is too wet or cold. Hill planting: Form soil into a 1' diameter mound 3-4" tall. Space mounds 4-6' apart. On each mound plant 1-2 seeds. Row planting: See spacing info in chart. Keep soil moist. Fertilize as needed. Hand pollination may be necessary. The vine can be trained to climb a vertical support for better air circulation and ease of harvest or left to sprawl on the ground. After harvest, winter squash should be left in the sun for a few days to cure before storing
