Japanese Red Kuri is a beautiful, teardrop shaped winter squash with red-orange skin and a delightfully rich, sweet flesh. Perfect for the home garden as they will only reach about 4 - 6 lbs in weight. Prized by chef's, this magnificent heirloom varietal makes fantastic pies, soups and side dishes.
Winter squash is a full sun staple best if sown directly after the final spring frost but, for earliest starts, begin indoors 3-4 weeks prior. Plant 2-3 seeds 1” deep per cell in medium moist, organic, well drained soil with a pH of 6.5-7.0. Whether transplanting or sowing direct, plant seeds on 6-8” tall mounds of soil to accommodate heavy trailing vegetation. Water generously throughout it's growth and harvest when stem becomes solid and rind is tough.
