Reviewed By: Danny (Beaverton, Oregon) This squash is one of my all time favorite! More meat, less seeds! If you're thinking about growing it, you will not be disappointed.  -  Wednesday, December 03, 2008 Very good keepers Reviewed By: Penny Kowalski (South Shore, SD) I have grown this squash for many years.It keeps very well, some lasting into the following summer if kept in cool dry conditions. It has yummy sweet golden flesh,bakes beautifully. I use it in place of pumpkin for an even better pumpkin pie. If you like squash, you'll love this one. We have a light sandy soil here and it does well in light drought to heavy rain. Sow seeds directly into the garden for best growing success.  -  Monday, December 01, 2008 Awesome Reviewed By: Leaf (Chelmsford, Massachusetts) (That's not actually my name.) Wow. I myself don't like squash, but the rest of my family does, and they loved it. We even froze some for Thanksgivivg(even though it was harvested 2 months before)! It was the first time we grew squash, so we were puzzled as to why the seed packet said to plant them 6 feet apart. We ignored that and planted them 4 feet apart. The plant invaded the rest of our garden and almost invaded the neighbor's yard. Even though, it was still really fun to grow.  -  Tuesday, January 16, 2007 Good Butternuts Reviewed By: Hal Graham (Crab Orchard, TN) I've had good luck with these Waltham Butternuts from Gurneys for 10 years. If you have heavy [red clay] soil - it is suggested you start them in indoor pots with potting soil.
