Right Time to Plant Acorn or Butternut Squash

Question

We’d like to know when to plant acorn and butternut squash.

Answer 1

Since those are both varieties of winter squash and have a fairly long growth period to maturity, normally you should start them in the spring. Check with your local extension office (found under gov’t in the phone book) for guide to planting times in your area for various vegetables.
