- **Planting Time:** Sow Waltham Butternut Winter Squash seeds after the danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed up, typically in late spring or early summer.
- **Sowing:** Plant seeds 1 inch deep and about 3-4 feet apart in rows, leaving ample space for the sprawling vines.
- **Sunlight:** Waltham Butternut Winter Squash thrives in full sun, so ensure they receive at least 6-8 hours of sunlight per day.
