Golden Hubbard
£2.69
This yellow variety is a recent addition to the Hubbard family, bred in Europe, with lovely yellow skin and the usual delicious flesh. It keeps really well over winter too.
Hubbard squash as a class were first introduced to the general public by seedsman and philanthropist James J.H. Gregory, in Marblehead, USA.
He wrote in 1857:
“Upwards of twenty years ago, a single specimen was brought into town, the seed from which was planted in the garden of a lady, now deceased; a specimen from this yield was given to Captain Knott Martin…who raised it for family use for a few years, when it was brought to our notice in the year 1842 or ’43. We were first informed of its good qualities by Mrs. Elizabeth Hubbard, a very worthy lady, through whom we obtained seed from Capt. Martin. As the squash up to this time had no specific name to designate it from other varieties, my father termed it the ‘Hubbard Squash.’ JJHG, 1857″
It did very well for us in trials and we hope you’ll enjoy growing it too!
