20 seeds. 120 days. Cucurbita moschata. Annual.
Squash 'Musquee de Provence' has large deeply ridged, flat, green fruits that turn a dusky salmon in storage. The flesh is deep orange with a sweet flavor. The fruits can weigh up to 30 pounds!
This French heirloom was introduced to the USA in 1895. It is known for having a long shelf life. Our squash lasted over 4 months in storage and we were eating it until March. It is one of the juciest squash I have ever cooked, so no need to add water to the baking pan. It has a rice like texture, so I find it best when it is blended and made into pie, pudding and soup.
Sowing Squash Seeds:
Sow seeds in hills 1 inch deep after the last frost date. Space hills 4–6 feet apart. Thinned to 2 plants per hill. Full sun.
