Ribbed fruit is 6\" by 4\", 1-2 lb with a small seed cavity and hard, green rind. Sweet flesh is light-yellow to deep-orange. The plant grows as a bush about 3' across and 10-12\" high; very vigorous and prolific. Withstands poor soil conditions. Soil \u0026amp; Water: Provide squash plants with deep mounds of organic matter, rich soil, and heavy, even water.

Preserve the recorded spacing because broad leaves and vines can occupy more room than young plants suggest. Check soil moisture at root depth and direct water toward the soil. Once fruit develops, inspect plants frequently and harvest at the stage appropriate to summer or winter squash. Use clean cuts to avoid damaging stems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlanting \u0026amp; Growing: Start seeds indoors 3-4 weeks before the last frost, or sow seed directly once soils are at least 70F.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHarvesting \u0026amp; Storage: Harvest when stems begin to shrivel or you can no longer pierce the skin with a thumbnail, but before the first hard frost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore sowing Table Queen Acorn Winter Squash, review the packet alongside the current product details and note any range in temperature, germination, or maturity. Ranges reflect biological and seasonal variation rather than a fixed promise. Label each planting with its date and location, then compare emergence, growth, and harvest with local weather. This record is useful for succession plantings and for deciding whether the crop fits better into an earlier or later seasonal window.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExplore related options in our \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/tip-of-the-week\/how-to-best-harvest-and-store-your-winter-squash\"\u003erecent blog\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peaceful Valley","offers":[{"title":"Pack","offer_id":41622913679473,"sku":"SNV8251","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1\/4 lb","offer_id":41622913646705,"sku":"SNV8251B","price":45.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0061\/1391\/9089\/files\/organic-squash-winter-table-queen-acorn.jpg?v=1747080114","url":"https:\/\/www.groworganic.mom\/products\/table-queen-acorn-winter-squash-seeds-organic","provider":"Grow Organic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
