'Table King' is great for short seasons or late spring planting; it is early maturing for a winter squash. Compact, 4' vines are great for small gardens or even large containers, and they are so easy to grow from seed! A 1974 All-America Selections winner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eVariety Info\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDays to Maturity: 80 Days\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFamily: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eCucurbitaceae\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNative: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eUnited States and Northern Mexico\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlant Dimensions: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eVine\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSowing Info\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhen to Sow Outside: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eRECOMMENDED. 1 to 2 weeks after your average last frost date, and when soil temperature is 70°–85°F.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhen to Start Inside: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eNot recommended except in very short growing seasons, 2 to 4 weeks before transplanting.

Cut stem, (don't break it off) leaving 2\" of stem attached, which keeps the squash whole, leaving no opening for infection. Though fruits are hard and may seem indestructible, treat them gently; bruising can spoil squash. Look for pollen-producing flowers that have long stems and harvest just before use (fruit-producing flowers have a very small, developing squash at the base of the flower and shorter stems).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Botanical Interests","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56942531313830,"sku":"3133","price":4.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0474\/3325\/3030\/files\/Product_23_ad4811e7-8ac3-43d7-8b8a-5bd5720d98c3.png?v=1786978102","url":"https:\/\/www.pittsborofeed.com\/products\/squash-winter-acorn-table-king","provider":"Pittsboro Feed","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
