Winter Squash Musquee de Provence

Winter Squash Musquee de Provence

Marquee de Provence seeds produce large round, semi-flat scalloped fruits weighing up to 10kg. The skin turns from green to golden brown on maturity and the flesh is a dense orange colour and of excellent flavour which is almost like that of nutmeg. The sweet, yet splightly spicy favour makes this squash a favourite amongst chefs. It can also be eaten raw! This variety has a very long storage ability and plants have a trailing habit.

When to Sow Musquee De Provence Seeds

April to May under glass or Mid-May to June outdoors.

Where to Sow

Sow seed on edge 1.5cm (1/2") deep to prevent rotting in pots or trays during April to May 2.5cm (1") apart under glass at 20°C (68°F) using good quality seed sowing compost. Sow outdoors mid-May to June direct into growing site 1.5cm (1/2") deep 2 to 3 seeds in each position 90-100cm (36-40") apart.

What to do next

Greenhouse sowings should be gradually hardened off once they have developed the first pair of rough leaves and transplanted to growing site in late-May to early-June 90-100cm (36-40") apart once all risk of frost has passed. Outdoor sowings should be thinned to one plant per station.

Maturity
