These butternuts practically grew themselves - I just added some seeds to a pile of compost that was left in a small heap after moving it someplace and up they came - prolifically too, we have eaten quite a few of them before I remembered to photograph them. They were all very sweet and had a much richer flavor than shop bought ones and I didn't do much extra to them - no extra feeding, not extra watering and we had a long dry summer with hardly any rain.
Save the seeds of any pumpkins and butternuts or squash that that you have enjoyed eating for next season as they grow so easily if they are open pollinated or heirloom seeds.
Get your seed from a reputable organic source
to be absolutely sure you are getting heirloom seeds and not some hybrid mix.
