Butternut squash is a vegetable which grows well at the time of winter. The plantation of this variety of squash is mostly done at the time of spring season and is harvested at the time of autumn as soon as the hardening of its outer skin takes place. A winter squash type will be identified by its colour which is deep orange and smooth and hard skin. This podcast explains the agronomic practices for this crop.
