Description
Our gem squash seeds are produced here in Tennessee, U.S.A. (buy American !). They are organically grown but not certified organic. We promise to provide a minimum of 12 seeds per packet. These seeds are produced and dried from the previous season so should have no issues germinating. If you are not germinating a whole lot, you can easily do so in a damp paper towel in a jar, just the same way you did with beans when in school. Alternatively, use any good germinating soil / system like Burpee Organic Seed Starting Mix and insert the seed no more than 1/4″ below the surface.
If you are interested in purchasing the squash in season, please use our contact form here: Contact Us to let us know.
The Gem Squash, as we knew it when we lived in Sourth Africa, is also widely known as the Rolet Squash and is a very popular vegetable. It isn’t hard to grow, loves the sun, lots of sun. You can reap a bountiful harvest with just a minimal amount of care.
There are many ways to prepare gem squash, we prefer them just steamed with some butter and salt and pepper.

Hi Glynda. Thanks for the 5 stars 🙂
It is getting a bit late in the year to plant as squash really like hot but you may be OK where you are as they produce fruit within 90 days of planting. You should just be able to germinate them in a small peet pot, or any kind of pot soil would be the easiest, and then plant them harden them off for a few days outside before putting them in the ground. I’m not sure how cool your evenings will get right now but I think you’d be safe. The bigger issue will be sun burn during the day, and humidity / dampness. Once they are hardened off and in the ground, give them some fish fertilizer or something similar once a month should be fine. Also, they have a tendency to get white mildew on them so once you see that start spray them with a potassium bicarbonate or similar fungicide. The fungus won;t kill the plant generally for quite a while but it does slow it down considerably. Other than that, plant the squash in the sunniest place you have. The more shade, the more mildew and the slower growing. I will post a PDF and send you a link.
