Vegetable Spaghetti Squash Seeds

Vegetable Spaghetti Squash Seeds (Cucurbita pepo)

Spaghetti Squash, also known as Gold String Melon, is a truly unique winter squash. When cooked, its pale yellow flesh transforms into tender, noodle-like strands with a mild, savoury flavour and a satisfying al dente texture. Perfect as a low-calorie alternative to pasta — simply season with butter and salt, or top with your favourite sauce.

Each plant produces 5 to 7 fruits, with oval squash growing up to 25cm long (approx. 1.8kg each). The smooth, hard-skinned fruits store well and can keep for up to 4 months, making them a great addition to your winter pantry.

Sowing & Growing Guide

• Climate:
• Temperate zones: Sow in early spring and summer.
• Subtropical zones: Can be sown year-round if frost-free.
• Planting:
• Sow seeds 20mm deep, spaced 1 metre apart.
• Provide a trellis or ample space for vines to sprawl.
• Ideal soil temperature for germination: 21–35°C.
• Germination: 7–10 days.
• Care:
• Once fruits ripen on the vine, wipe gently with a diluted bleach solution to prevent rot and extend storage life.
• Ensure the skin is intact for best keeping quality.

Harvesting

• Ready in approximately 15 weeks, when fruits reach 22–25cm in length and develop a firm, golden rind.
• Cut fruit from the vine carefully and store in a cool, dry place.
