You'll find these winter squash mashed potatoes seeds easy to grow indoors from April to May, with clear planting instructions included so you can enjoy a nutritious harvest from August to November. Each packet contains 12 seeds ready to thrive in full sun and well-drained soil, delivering a crop that's packed with fibre, vitamin C, potassium and magnesium to help maintain a healthy heart. How to grow: Sow squash seed indoors from April to May for transplanting later on. Sow squash seeds on their sides in small 7.5cm (3") pots of seed compost at a depth of about 2cm (¾”). Place in a propagator or seal pots inside a plastic bag at a temperature of 20-25C (68-77F) until germination which takes five to seven days. Do not exclude light, as this helps germination. Once germinated, grow squash on in cooler conditions until all risk of frost has passed and squash plants are large enough to be transplanted outdoors. Gradually acclimatise them to outdoor conditions over seven to 10 days before planting squash outdoors in warm, well drained, humus rich soil in full sun. Choose a spot that receives at least six hours of direct sun per day. Supplied as packet of 12 seeds in total.
