Squash 'Honeynut'

Honeynut produces very small (0.5-1lb), uniform squash that are essentially mini Butternuts, with a very sweet flavour. 

Harvest your squash once it has changed colour and become dull and the skin is firm. Cut the gourd off of the fine, do not twist or pull, and leave at least 2" of the stem on. Leave them in the sun for about a week to harden the rind, this helps them store for longer. 

Squash grow best in full sun with fertile, well-drained soil. Water your squash well when young as they have small root systems. As they mature, you can water slightly less frequently but don't let the soil dry out fully, especially during hot, sunny weather.
