This muted blue-gray, warted winter squash is the pie-maker’s best kept secret. The unique outer shell gives way to the somewhat dry and medium-sweet yellow orange flesh that melts in your mouth. The real stand-out trait of this squash? It’s storage ability. The Blue Hubbard squash famously lasts for six months after harvest, meaning you can grow a lot and eat it long into the winter and spring. The exact story behind this farmstand-favorite is not known, however, it is generally agreed that the original Hubbard squash seed made its way to the US via a ship that had traveled from the Caribbean to Marblehead, Massachusetts. From here, it was bred to feature its unique blue skin by either a Ms. Hubbard or a Mr. Gregory. Either way, this teardrop-shaped, seven to 12 pound winter squash is a winner in any garden (and kitchen). \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMin. 12 seeds per packet.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"- Squash -","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32969639821389,"sku":"079-011-1-C","price":3.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2550\/8730\/products\/Blue_Hubbard_1.jpg?v=1613150847","url":"https:\/\/sowtrueseed.mom\/products\/winter-squash-blue-hubbard","provider":"Sow True Seed","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
