<div id="idTab1" class="rte"> <h2 id="short_description_content" class="rte align_justify"><strong>BABY BOO Squash - Pumpkin Seeds</strong></h2> <h2><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Price for Package of 5 seeds.</strong></span></h2> <p>C. pepo 100 days. One of our most fun varieties to grow, Baby Boo produces bone-white mini pumpkins that are as enjoyable to look at as they are to eat. A reliably productive variety, these palm-sized fruit string on creeping vines like Halloween garlands. For pure white color, harvest prior to full maturity, because this one turns a very pale yellow when fully ripe.<br><em>Cucurbita spp.:</em> This traditional ornament of the autumn harvest is good for much more than jack-o-lanterns and pies. High in fiber and essential minerals, their colorful orange flesh signifies an abundance of the antioxidant beta-carotene.<br><br><strong>CULTURE:</strong> Pumpkins have the same cultural needs as other members of the squash family. Starting transplants indoors can give you earlier yields and prize winning pumpkins. Start transplants 3 weeks prior to your usual last frost. Use 3-inch Peat or Cow pots and grow with lots of light in a warm area. After they are up and growing well, move them to an outside cold frame. Hardening off for about a week makes a difference in their vigor after transplanting. Once the danger of frost has passed, plant the entire Peat or Cow pot, covering completely. Plant the bush or short-vine varieties in rows 6-8 feet apart with the plants spaced 3-4 feet apart in the row. Large-fruited varieties should be planted in rows 8-10 feet apart, with the plants spaced 4-5 feet apart in the row. Pumpkins and gourds require moderate-to-high levels of fertility. One-half cup of our complete fertilizer should be worked in around the plant when transplanting and another at the 4-6 leaf stage. Soil testing and liming to adjust pH can increase your success. Pumpkins and gourds require uniform irrigation totaling 15-20 inches of water during the growing season. Bee attractant flowers or beehives will help yields. Misshapen or non-developing fruit is often the result of poor pollination.<br><br><strong>DIRECT SOWING:</strong> Plant after your last frost and when the soil has warmed to at least 60°F. Sow with 3-4 feet between bush varieties, and 4-5 feet between vining varieties. Distance between rows: 6-10 feet. Pumpkins need just-barely-damp soils to germinate. Too much moisture causes the seed to rot. All pumpkins are monoecious (bearing separate male and female flowers on the same plant), and require bee and insect activity for successful pollination. Poor fruit set is often the result of poor pollination.<br><br><strong>DISEASES:</strong> Pumpkins and gourds are susceptible to many of the common vine diseases, such as wilts, leaf spots and mildews, as well as several viral diseases. Common control measures include crop rotation, field sanitation, and fungicide applications. Consult your local county extension agent with specific problems.<br><br><strong>INSECTS:</strong> Cucumber beetles and squash bugs can cause problems in squash plants. We've seen striped cucumber beetles turn healthy leaves into something that resembles a nylon sack in a matter of days. Dedicated use of Pyrethrin will help control the problem. Crop rotation can minimize problems with insects.<br><br><strong>HARVEST:</strong> Exposure in the field to prolonged (1-2 weeks) temperatures below 50°F can result in chilling injury and lead to pumpkins and gourds rotting in storage. Pumpkins can be harvested after their rinds are hard and their skins have turned orange. Leave 3-4 inches of stem on the fruit since pumpkins without stems store poorly. Gourds should be allowed to mature as long as possible on the vine. To dry gourds, first wash gently in a solution of 10 parts water and 1 part bleach, carefully removing all dirt, then store in a warm, dry location. Pumpkins and gourds should be stored at 55-70°F and at 70% relative humidity.</p> </div><script src="//cdn.public.n1ed.com/G3OMDFLT/widgets.js"></script>

<h2><strong>Red Turban Squash Seeds</strong></h2> <h2><span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong>Price for Package of 5 seeds.</strong></span></h2> <p>Turban squash can range in color from mottled green, orange to yellow in color, often displaying all of these colors on a single squash. At its blossom end is a turban-like cap, thus its name. This ornamental and edible variety can measure ten to fifteen inches in diameter and is heavy for its size. Wrapped in a thin but hard shell, the fine-textured orange flesh can vary from mild to sweet depending upon variety. When cooked the flesh has a floury texture that lends itself well to soups and stews.</p> <p>(C. maxima) 95 days.</p> <p><strong>Current Facts</strong><strong><br /></strong>The Turban squash, botanically classified as part of Cucurbita maxima, is a group of squashes known for having a shape similar to that of their namesake. Commonly known types are Turk’s Turban, French Turban, American Turban, and Marina di Chioggia. Due to the Turban squash's bright colors, unique shape, and semi-bland flavor, it is most frequently used today as an ornamental squash. </p> <p><strong>Nutritional Value</strong><strong><br /></strong>Turban squash is an excellent source of vitamin A and offers a good source of vitamin C, calcium, fiber, and potassium, plus notable amounts beta-carotene. </p> <p><strong>Applications</strong><strong><br /></strong>The large size and unique shape of the Turban squash make it a task to cut. Typically the acorn like protrusion is sliced off first then both that and the round cap are cut into wedges or cubes. The cut squash can then be cooked and then once cooled the skin removed. Turban squash shines when baked, roasted, and steamed. Cooked squash can be used whole as an accompaniment to meats and vegetable mains or pureed and added to soups, stews, and sauces as a thickener. The mild flesh of this winter squash pairs well with a wide range of companion ingredients such as pear, apple, chard, corn, kale, parsley, cilantro, nutmeg, cardamom, brown sugar, butter, cream, melting and hard cheeses, toasted nuts, ground beef, bacon, and roasted chicken. To store: keep the whole, uncut, squash in a cool dry place. Care should be taken to not damage the cap of the squash as it is the most delicate part of the Turban squash and where rot is most likely to occur first. Once cut it is best to wrap cut pieces in plastic and store in the refrigerator for up to one week. </p> <p><strong>Ethnic/Cultural Info</strong><br />The Turban squash was known in France as Giraumon Turban and images of it can be found in Vilmorin-Andrieux’s famous album of illustrations, Les Plantes Potagères. A reprint book of his illustrations uses a close-up of the Turban squash featured on plate No. 23 originally illustrated in 1871 as the book’s cover photo. </p> <p><strong>Geography/History</strong><br />The Turban squash is first mentioned in the 1818 publication of Le Bon Jardinier. Prior to 1818, there was no doubt turban shaped varieties though eating quality was so poor that there is little documentation of these varieties. A variety known as the French Turban is said to predate 1820, its flavor was bland and texture watery, so it was predominantly used as an ornamental. This French Turban, however, would go on to be parent along with the hubbard, acorn, and autumnal marrow to the American Turban which offered a much more desirable flavor and texture. Turban squash grows on vines which can reach eight to ten feet in length. Squash tends to be ready for harvest within 115 days of planting and should be harvested before the first hard frost of the season. <strong></strong></p>

Harden plants 4-7 days by reducing fertilizer, water, and temperature, moving flats outside if there is no frost danger. Transplant after frost danger, earlier only if plants are to be covered with floating row covers, about 18” apart. Take care not to disturb roots! </p> <p>Direct seed: Sow in late spring when soil is at least 70°F (21°C) and weather settled after all frost danger. Sow 2 seeds/ft., 1" deep, in rows 3' apart. Thin plants 24" apart in the row.</p> <p>Harvest: When stems are drying, fruits have mature color, and skin is hardening, cut stems about 1" from the fruits. Handle fruits very carefully. 1 or 2 light frosts are tolerable, but a hard frost or repeated light frosts will damage fruits. </p> <p>Curing: To dry and toughen skins, expose fruits to the sun for 5-10 days, covering at night when frost is expected. To cure indoors, expose squash to 80-90°F (27-32°C) with ventilation for 3-5 days. </p> <p>Storage: Store at 50-55°F (10-13°C) with 50-75% humidity and good air circulation.</p> <p>Diseases and pests: At time of planting, cover with row cover to protect from insect pests. Control cucumber beetles, squash bugs, and vine borers with azadirachtin or pyrethrin. Control of cucumber beetles early in the season is important, as the insects spread bacterial wilt disease. Prevent disease with crop rotation and good sanitation. </p>

When cooked, Lunga di Napoli is smooth and dry with a mild, slightly sweet flavor, similar to butternut squash.</p><p>Lunga di Napoli squash, botanically classified as Cucurbita moschata, is an Italian heirloom variety that grows on a long vining plant and is a member of the Cucurbitaceae family along with pumpkins and gourds. Also known as Piena di Napoli, Courge Pleine d’Alger, Long of Naples, and Courge Pleine di Naples, Lunga di Napoli is a large winter squash that is a part of what has come to be known as the neck group of squashes which contains squash with elongated necks such as butternut, crookneck, and Tahitian. Lunga di Napoli translated means "Long of Naples," and the squash is known for its enormous size, tender texture, and dense flesh.</p><p>Lunga di Napoli squash has been a popular variety in Italy for centuries, specifically in the southern regions. In Campania, Sicily, and Puglia, it is used in the regional soup known as cianfotta or giambotta and is made with chili pepper, eggplant, tomato, pears, and plums. Lunga di Napoli squash is also popularly served fried, chilled, and scapece style dressed in vinegar, oil, garlic, mint, and sugar in Sicily or chili in Campania. The squash is commonly sold in packaged slices in Europe due to its large size, and the seeds are also used as a snack food throughout Italy, served simply toasted and salted.</p><h3><strong>Geography/History</strong></h3><div>Lunga di Napoli squash is a common variety in Italy and the Mediterranean region, and mention of it can be found dating back to 1856 in Vilmorin’s classic illustrated album of French garden vegetables, The Vegetable Garden. Lunga di Napoli squash is then believed to have first appeared in an American seed catalog in 1863 listed by Fearing Burr. Though it has never caught on as a commercially viable squash variety in the United States, it has found popularity among home growers and competitive growers as a result of its ability to grow to massive sizes. Today Lunga di Napoli squash can be found at farmers markets, specialty grocers, and online seed catalogs in Europe, Asia, Australia, and the United States.</div><script type="text/javascript"></script>
