Red kuri squash, also known as uchiki kuri squash or orange Hokkaido squash, is an early maturing winter squash that can be grown in a garden or large container. The flavor is described as smooth, sweet and nutty, far superior to pumpkin or butternut squash.
The site:
Kuri squash likes rich, fertile soil and plenty of water while growing on a raised mound to provide drainage. Each plant needs about 4 square feet to spread out and avoid competing with other plants.
Sowing:
Sow seeds indoors from April to June or direct sow from mid-May to the end of June or as soon as soil temperatures exceed 65 oF. Germination takes 10-14 days and seedlings are particularly attractive to snails and slugs...
