Growing winter squash

Space individual plants 4 to 6 feet apart.
Before planting, add some general purpose fertilizer and compost to the soil.
Keep the soil evenly moist.
It can be beneficial to prune older, damaged, or very crowded leaves from squash plants. This allows bees easier access to the flowers. If you have ever had small shriveled squash fruit that do not develop, the reason is likely lack of pollination. Planting flowers nearby that are attractive to bees will also help.
To harvest, leave fruit on the vine until fully mature with a firm rind. Cut the stem with a few inches remaining attached to the fruit. If you plan to store the fruit, wash with a bleach solution of 10 parts water and one part bleach. Dry and store at 50 to 60 deg. F. with good air circulation.
PLEASE NOTE: The plants on my farm table have NOT been hardened off. They are straight from the greenhouse.
You can do one of the following:
1. Expose them gradually to outdoor conditions over a week
-OR (as I do)-
2. Plant them immediately and give them protection from excess sun, wind, and rain for a week or two.

Butterbush

75-85 days. Butterbush's 3–4 foot long vines make it a prime candidate for containers or tight spaces. At about 1 ½ pounds each, these true, single-serving squash have sweet, rich, coppery-red flesh that’s the darkest color of any butternut we’ve grown. Expect a harvest of 3–6 fruit per plant. F1 hybrid. (Territorial Seed)

Black Forest Kabocha

95 days. A nice uniform kabocha that produces 4-5 fruits averaging 3-4 pounds each. Fruits are gray-green flattened shape with dark orange flesh that is sweet, dry and flaky. They store moderately well until February or March if kept in a dry spot. Delicious baked with butter! Open pollinated. (Siskiyou Seeds)
