  • Maintain a soil temperature of 70-85°F (21-29°C) for optimal germination.

• Outdoor Sowing:

  • Direct sow after the last frost when the soil has warmed to at least 65°F (18°C).
  • Sow seeds 1 inch deep in well-prepared soil.
  • Thin seedlings to 18-24 inches apart once they have a few true leaves.

Germination:

• Seeds typically germinate in 7-10 days under ideal conditions.
• Keep the soil consistently moist but avoid waterlogging.

Transplanting:

• If starting indoors, transplant seedlings to the garden once they are 4-6 inches tall and all danger of frost has passed.
• Hardening off: Gradually introduce seedlings to outdoor conditions over a 7-10 day period to minimize transplant shock.

Spacing:

• Within Rows: 18-24 inches apart
• Between Rows: 36-48 inches apart
• Ideal for garden beds, raised beds, or containers with enough space for plant spread.

Care & Maintenance:

• Watering: Keep soil evenly moist, especially during the growing season. Water deeply to encourage healthy root development.
• Fertilization: Apply a balanced fertilizer or organic compost during planting and again mid-season to support growth.
• Support: This squash does not require trellising as it is a bush variety but needs ample space to spread.
• Pruning: Regularly remove dead or damaged leaves to promote better airflow and reduce disease risk.
• Mulching: Apply mulch around the base to help retain moisture, suppress weeds, and maintain consistent soil temperature.
