Productive vines typically yield around 8 fruits each, which store for up to four months when harvested fully mature. Young fruits can also be picked early and enjoyed like zucchini, while mature squash are delicious baked, roasted, steamed or stuffed. Compact in size and excellent for storage, Gem Squash is a versatile and rewarding addition to the home vegetable garden.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"533\" data-end=\"609\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"533\" data-end=\"569\"\u003eApproximately 7–9 seeds per gram\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"569\" data-end=\"572\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"572\" data-end=\"609\"\u003eApproximately 15 seeds per packet\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"611\" data-end=\"640\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"611\" data-end=\"640\"\u003eWhen to Plant (Australia)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"642\" data-end=\"790\"\u003eTropics: April to August (dry season)\u003cbr data-start=\"679\" data-end=\"682\"\u003eSubtropics: September to January\u003cbr data-start=\"714\" data-end=\"717\"\u003eMild climates: September to December\u003cbr data-start=\"753\" data-end=\"756\"\u003eCold climates: October to December\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"792\" data-end=\"813\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"792\" data-end=\"813\"\u003ePlanting \/ Sowing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"815\" data-end=\"1278\"\u003eDirect sow seed 20–30 mm deep into fertile, well-drained soil in a sunny position once the danger of frost has passed. Space plants 1–1.5 metres apart, allowing room for the vines to spread. Keep the soil consistently moist during establishment and fruit development. Harvest young fruits for use like zucchini, or allow fruits to fully mature over 90–100 days for the best flavour and longest storage life. Cure mature fruits in a warm, dry place before storing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1280\" data-end=\"1404\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1280\" data-end=\"1404\" data-is-last-node=\"\"\u003eDue to quarantine restrictions, TAS has an 800g limit per each seed variety and WA has a 10,000 seeds limit per variety.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Eden Seeds","offers":[{"title":"Packet","offer_id":46649648644314,"sku":null,"price":4.2,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0736\/4866\/8890\/files\/V_Squash_Gem_3f316c56-f907-4a15-b958-da1c0f95da5a.jpg?v=1783037860","url":"https:\/\/www.edenseeds.com.au\/products\/squash-winter-gem-2167","provider":"Eden Seeds ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
