Mountain Valley Seed Company Table Queen Acorn Winter Squash Seeds

Each packet contains approximately 24 seeds. Assuming a standard germination rate, you can expect to start around 20 to 24 plants, though it is always wise to sow a few extra seeds to account for any that may not sprout.

Table Queen Acorn squash are known for their excellent storage life. When cured properly and kept in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated location, they can last for several months, making them a reliable staple for your winter pantry.

While these plants are productive, they are vining squash that require significant space to spread. They are best suited for in-ground garden beds or very large raised beds rather than small containers, unless you have a sturdy trellis system to support the vines.

Heirloom means these seeds have been passed down through generations because of their reliable traits, such as flavor and yield. Unlike hybrid seeds, you can save the seeds from your harvested squash to plant again the following year, and they will grow true to the parent plant.

These squash require full sun, which means at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight per day. Adequate sun is essential for the fruit to develop its characteristic sweet, nutty flavor and to ensure the plant remains vigorous throughout the season.
