What Makes Survival Garden Seeds Different - non-GMO heirloom seeds

Grow dependable, long-storing harvests with this Winter Squash Seed Collection from Survival Garden Seeds. Featuring four flavorful and versatile varieties—Acorn, Pink Banana, Spaghetti, and Butternut—this set provides an excellent foundation for winter cooking and cold-season food security. These full sun annuals yield firm, nutrient-rich fruits with thick rinds that allow for extended storage, making them a reliable choice for stocking your pantry.

Four Nutritious and Flavorful Winter Squash Varieties:

  • Acorn Squash produces compact, dark green fruits with sweet, tender flesh. Once cured, acorn squash stores exceptionally well and is delicious when roasted or stuffed.
  • Butternut Squash offers tan-skinned fruits with deep orange flesh and a familiar sweet, nutty flavor. A staple in winter soups, stews, bakes, and pies, it is one of the most versatile squash varieties for home gardeners.
  • Pink Banana Squash grows large, cylindrical fruits that can reach remarkable sizes. For best flavor and texture, harvest when fruits are 2–3 feet long. Its smooth, sweet flesh works beautifully in baked dishes, purées, and desserts.
  • Spaghetti Squash produces abundant 3–4 pound oblong yellow fruits with mild flavor and a unique stringy texture. When cooked, the flesh separates into tender strands often used as a low-carb substitute for pasta.

Why Customers Love the Winter Squash Collection:

  • Includes four distinct varieties for diverse flavors and kitchen uses
  • Thick-rinded fruits offer excellent long-term storage for cold months
  • Reliable, productive plants that thrive in warm, sunny conditions
  • Suitable for roasting, stuffing, baking, puréeing, sweet dishes, and savory meals
  • Seeds can be roasted for an additional nutritious snack

How to Grow:
Plant winter squash seeds outdoors in full sun after the final frost when soil has warmed. Provide rich, well-drained soil and ample space for vines to spread, especially for Pink Banana and Spaghetti squash. Maintain even moisture during flowering and fruit development. Allow fruits to fully mature on the vine before harvesting and cure them in a warm, dry location to improve storage life.

Harvest & Use:
Cured winter squash can last for months when stored in a cool, dry area. Use acorn for stuffing, butternut for soups and roasting, spaghetti for noodle-style dishes, and pink banana for baked goods or hearty entrées. Save seeds for roasting or future planting seasons as desired.

Long Growing Season

Winter squash plants usually require at least three to four months of warm weather to produce mature fruits.

Generally, winter squash seeds should be planted after the last frost date in your area, when the soil temperature has reached at least 60°F.

The recommended method for planting winter squash seeds is to sow them directly into the garden bed or container where they will grow. Winter squash requires full sun and fertile, well-draining soil.

Loosen the soil to a depth of 6-8 inches and create mounds about 3-4 feet apart. Plant 2-3 seeds per mound about 1 inch deep. Thin to one plant by cutting weaker seedlings at the soil level.

Keep evenly moist (mulch is helpful to retain moisture).

Frequently Asked Questions

What are heirloom seeds?

Heirloom seeds are the types of seeds your grandparents grew. These varieties have been passed down from generation to generation. They’re old reliable open-pollinated varieties that aren’t typically grown commercially. Instead, they have a rich history that predates modern breeding techniques.

You can learn more about open-pollinated, heirloom, and non-GMO seeds in our Survival Garden Training blog.

How do I know my seeds are fresh?

Every seed packet includes a "packed for" date, and we germination test each seed lot before packaging to ensure you receive viable, high-quality seeds that are ready to grow.

Are your seeds treated?

No, we do not pre-treat our farmer seeds. All of our garden seeds for sale are untreated, open-pollinated, non-GMO, and heirloom varieties. They are kept in temperature-controlled cooler storage until they are packed and shipped to keep them pest and disease-free.

In what zones can I grow your seeds?

The seeds in our collections are specifically chosen from varieties that can be successfully grown from Zone 3 to Zone 10 USDA Hardiness Zones. However, individual varieties have specific needs to thrive in different environments. Each seed pack has optimal temperatures for germination and instructions on seed starting. Consult local frost dates to plan your garden and get the most out of your seeds.

What is the shelf life of these gardening seeds?

Most seeds remain viable for 3 to 5 years or longer when stored properly. Check your seed packet for specific varieties. For best results, keep your seeds in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Store them in an airtight container in a consistent temperature environment—a refrigerator or cool basement works well. Proper storage helps maintain germination rates and extends seed life well beyond the packed date.

Where are Survival Garden Seeds sourced?

The majority of our seeds are sourced in the United States, with a few exceptions when the seed is difficult to source domestically. Whenever we do have to source outside of the US, we ensure our seeds are safe to grow, non-GMO varieties that meet our standards for germination and reliability.
