Baby Blue Hubbard Squash seeds:

SKU: Z409843

This one is a treat! This is the smaller version of the larger blue Hubbard squash. Although named Blue Hubbard, the squash leans a bit more to the gray side. Since these are petite, they can be grown-up trellis netting, a trellis, a cattle panel, or even in a raised bed.

 

The 2nd image in the thumbnails shows how we used some cheap fencing wire to make a trellis up our pergola. They can be grown in containers so these are also great for balconies or limited garden space.
These are small, almost pear-shaped squash with thick bumpy skin, and rich sweet yellow-golden flesh inside.

 

The baby blue Hubbard squash is a cross between a large blue Hubbard and the popular buttercup squash. Squash will only get to be about 5-6 inches. The squash is a perfect serving for 1-2 people and is great for stuffing ( try it with quinoa! ). This is also popular for making fall-themed vegetable hash, and soups, and for baking. These are excellent when baked and brushed with honey and rosemary. These also have an extremely long shelf life! If you aren't in a hurry to eat them, they also play the role of handsome decorative Fall ornaments on your porch or around the house. The blossoms and the squash are both edible. When there aren't any female flowers, you can cut and cook with the male flowers. Try the blooms dipped in curry batter and deep-fried or air fried!
