Latin Cucurbita maxima
The Burgess Buttercup Squash is a delicious heirloom winter squash known for its dark green, turban-shaped fruits and sweet, orange flesh. This variety produces 3-5 pound squashes with a smooth, creamy texture, making it perfect for roasting, soups, and pies. It thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, maturing in 85-100 days. With its excellent storage ability and rich, nutty flavour, Burgess Buttercup is a favourite among home gardeners and chefs alike.
Growing Burgess Buttercup Squash requires full sun, warm temperatures, and well-drained, fertile soil. Sow seeds directly in the garden after the last frost, planting them 1 inch deep in mounds or hills spaced 3-4 feet apart to allow for sprawling vines. This squash variety matures in 85-100 days, and fruits are ready to harvest when the skin is dark green and tough. Cure squash in a warm, dry place for a couple of weeks to enhance flavour and storage life.
