Q.Question About Growing Butternut Squash
Greetings , I was asking how many butternut squash harvest from one seed plant (how many to expect when they are ready to be harvested) , I have planted 160 of seeds so I don’t know how many I should expect. Secondly what fertilizer and measuring scale for it to use

This number varies with the care that the plant receives. Each could bear one, or ten or more! Of course proper care, climate, genetics will play a large role in determining crop size.

As far as feeding them- My preference has always been compost as a topdress ever few weeks. Whatever you choose to use as a fertilizer, make sure that you follow all instructions on the packaging.
