About 150 seeds/oz. ⅛ oz packet sows 7 hills.
Buttercup squashes, the main type grown in the Northeast, account for about 19% of New England winter squash sales. Fat round stems turn corky and woody when the squash is ripe; green in the stem signifies immature fruit. Classic buttercups have squared-off shoulders, not round, and a protuding cup on the blossom end.
