Kabocha Squash is a delightful Japanese heirloom variety highly prized for its rich flavor and excellent eating quality! The vigorous, sprawling vines of this plant produce medium-sized, dark green squashes with deep ribbing and speckled white stripes. Inside, the dense, bright orange flesh is celebrated for its sweet, nutty flavor and velvety texture, making it perfect for roasting, baking, soups, and even desserts. Thriving in well-drained soil and full sunlight, this hardy squash ensures a generous and rewarding harvest. Kabocha Squash offers exceptional taste and high nutritional value and is popular in Japan, often referred to as the "Japanese pumpkin", and is a favorite ingredient in tempura dishes. Kabocha is familiar in size and taste to Buttercup Squash and does not have the characteristic bump on the bottom. Enhance your garden and culinary creations with the exotic Kabocha Squash!

Squash is one of the plants grown in the traditional Native American vegetable growing technique called the Three Sisters. The other two plants in the Three Sisters are beans and corn. Each plant had its role in this companion planting tradition. Corn served as a structure for the vining beans to grow up. Squash served as a ground cover to prevent weeds from growing. Beans provided natural fertilizer for all.

Planting Instructions:

Soil Preparation:

Choose an area with heavy, well-draining soil that receives at least 6 hours of sunlight each day. Remove weeds, large rocks, and litter from the planting area. Leave small weeds and dead grass, they will enrich the soil when turned under. Spade or till the soil 8-12 inches deep. Loosening the soil will help the plant establish strong roots.

Plants grow best in soil with lots of organic matter. You may optionally add fertilizer or organic material such as compost, leaves, or rotted hay to mix into the soil at this point. For small gardens, scatter 2-3 tablespoons of fertilizer evenly and work into the top 2-3 inches of soil for each hill or 2 foot by 2 foot planting area. For larger gardens, scatter 2-3 pounds of a complete fertilizer for each 100 square feet of planting area. Work fertilizer or organic material into the soil and leave the surface smooth.

Form rows of soil beds 4-6 inches high and at least 3 feet apart. This formation of ridges will help with drainage.

Planting:

Kabocha Squash grows best in warm weather.

Starting Indoors: For an earlier harvest, you may optionally start planting indoors in containers 2-4 weeks before the last expected frost date in Spring, keeping seedlings at least 70F. Harden off then transplant seedlings outdoors in a sunny location when the soil temperature is above 65F. To transplant seedlings, prepare a transplant hole outdoors in a sunny location. Remove the plants carefully from the pots or flats and set them in the holes, burying some of the stem in the ground. Pack the soil loosely around the plant and leave a slightly sunken area around each plant to hold water. Water the plants after transplanting. Optionally, train plants to climb a 6-8 foot trellis or fence as they establish and prepare additional support for the heavy squash as they grow.

Directly Sowing: If directly sowing Kabocha Squash outdoors, plant in mid-late spring when the soil warms to at least 70F. Fall planting is not typically recommended unless planting in climates with mild winters (USDA Zones 9-11) - plant at least 3-4 months before the first expected frost date - or growing indoors at >70F using supplemental grow lights.

To plant, make holes 1 inch deep and spaced 4 feet apart down the rows of raised beds. Plant 2-3 seeds per hole. If choosing to thin to the strongest plant, determine the strongest and healthiest plant, then remove all other plants, narrowing to a single plant per hole. Cover seeds thinly with soil and water after planting. Optionally, train plants to climb a 6-8 foot trellis or fence as they establish and prepare additional support for the heavy squash as they grow.



Planting Depth: 1 inch
Within-Row Spacing: 4 feet
Between-Row Spacing: 3 feet (trellis) or 8 feet (sprawl)


Care During the Season:

Watering: Water the plants deeply, soaking the soil to a depth of 6-8 inches, once to twice a week. If there is no rainfall, water 3-4 times a week. Sandy soils may need to be watered more often than heavy clay soils. Mulching around plants can help retain moisture.

Weeding: Keeping plants weed-free improves production. If plowing or hoeing, do not dig deeper than 1 inch to prevent from cutting the feeder roots.

Fertilizing: Once seedlings are established, 2-3 weeks after germination, you may optionally apply 2 tablespoons of a complete fertilizer around each hole, or 1-2 pounds per 100 square feet, without letting the fertilizer touch the plants. Optionally, continue fertilizing every 3-4 weeks as plants grow, especially after flowering begins. Water plants after fertilizing.

Insecticides: Insecticides may be used to protect plants. Bt-based insecticides and sulfur are organic options that can be used for prevention. Sulfur also has fungicidal properties and helps in controlling many diseases. Before using a pesticide, read the label and follow cautions, warnings and directions.

Diseases: If spots or mold appear, treat plants with an approved fungicide. Neem oil, sulfur, and other fungicides may be used. When using fungicides always follow label directions.

Harvesting:

Kabocha Squash is ready to be harvested when the skin is hard, fully colored, and the stem has turned brown and dry, about 90 to 120 days after planting. Kabocha Squash's rind should be tough enough that it cannot be easily pierced by a fingernail. To harvest, use a sharp knife or pruning shears to cut the squash from the vine, leaving a small portion of the stem attached. Handle the squash carefully to avoid bruising the skin. Harvest before the first frost for best storage. If frost is imminent and some squash are still on the vine, try to harvest them early and store them in a cool, dry place to allow them to finish ripening.

Great, Practical, Real
Format: Paperback
Finally a real estate book that has real, practical tips and methods to go out and get deals done. I almost didn’t read this as in the last few months I have poured through dozens of books and got sick of the “have a solid goal and motivate yourself” or the “this is why real estate is a great investment” that plagues 99% of books in this area while providing no real context. This book should have been my first go-to book. It’s real, authentic, full of real world advice and tips. Read it and you finally get an idea of how to do it from the guys who actually do it. This isn’t a “feel good” book written by an author or journalist. It’s a practical, raw, real-world guide to Section 8 real estate from the guys who have hundreds of units. A must read

Ha! Funny guys!
Man, these guys are a trip! They kept me in stitches! But seriously though, it's packed with enough information to embark on the section 8 landlord business if that's where you want to go. It's got lots of pictures to show what they're talking about and everything. Though it's not 110% complete. If you're really serious about it then you'll need to take some quickie classes on finding beat up homes for cheap. You won't find them all online and I plan to take a couple of quickie classes in real estate. You'll need to be up to code for the rules in your state. But this book is the most packed with information that I know of for the moment. So I consider it a must read. The print quality of the books is tragic, but don't let that stop you from getting your copy. It's all about real people in the business doing it and sharing with they accomplished and how they did it with us. And I appreciate it. And you might die laughing.

A Practical and Encouraging Starting Point for First-Time Investors
Format: Paperback
As someone completely new to real estate and working a 9–5 with limited income, this book felt genuinely reassuring. It doesn’t talk down to beginners or assume you already have a lot of money to invest. The concepts are explained in a simple, practical way that made real estate investing feel possible instead of intimidating. I especially liked how it focused on getting your first deal and managing properties realistically, not just selling a “get rich quick” dream. While it’s clearly written for beginners, it gave me clarity, confidence, and a sense of direction. If you’re starting from scratch and juggling a regular job, this book is a helpful place to begin.

All inclusive knowledge
Format: Kindle
If you are anything like me who is curious about anything and everything but gets overwhelmed as to where to start, this is for you. This book is a 2-for-1, and the first book is excellent for newbies who want to learn all they can about building empires. It is exciting, engaging, and, above all, designed for those who feel we need more time, money, and energy to get started due to the overwhelm. This isn't just another dry, jargon-filled investment guide that leaves you more confused than when you started. I am a person who needs clear and actionable steps to get me from point A to point B. This combo of books gets you where you need to go without feeling completely overwhelmed. The first book will assist with breaking down the myths of real estate and assist you with shifting your mindset as they dismantle the myths one by one. It then guides you through the 7 simple steps you need to close your first deal; woo hoo! This was a great book to help me understand the different types of investments and figure out how the financing process works. This was an all-inclusive book. I appreciated the section on negotiating like Chris Voss, where you learn how to make offers so irresistible that sellers won’t want to say no. The second book covers rental property investing, and it is a roadmap that teaches you everything from how to find incredible deals to managing your properties without wanting to throw in the towel. It covers long-term rentals, short-term vacation rentals, and everything in between. I learned so much. My brain is excited! The next step is following the authors' practical tips and clear explanations as I am inspired, more informed, and ready to take on the real estate world (on a small scale) with confidence!
