Butternut Squash

Sown today in a self watering pop bottle propagator. Squash Queen Beryl over at Mudandgluts will be proud of me.  

Butternut Squash 'Butterfly'

Butterfly' is a classically shaped butternut squash, tan skin, thick neck, and fabulous tasting deep orange flesh. It's considered head and shoulders above the rest due to its great disease resistance and space saving, semi-bush habit. It yields plenty of 3.5 pound busty fruits that make a delicious substitute for pumpkin or even potatoes in many of your favorite recipes, and has very long storage potential in a cool, dry pantry. Maturity: 90 days
