Sowing Guidelines
Indoor Sowing:
Start seeds indoors 3-4 weeks before the last expected frost.
Sow seeds 1 inch deep in seed trays or pots filled with well-draining, fertile soil.
Keep the soil temperature between 70-85°F (21-29°C) for best germination.
Transplant seedlings outdoors once the soil temperature reaches 60°F (16°C) and after the last frost has passed.
Outdoor Sowing:
Direct sow seeds outdoors after the last frost, once the soil temperature is above 60°F (16°C).
Sow seeds 1 inch deep in rows, spacing them about 18-24 inches apart to allow for the plant's spreading nature.
Thin seedlings to 18-24 inches apart once they are large enough to handle.
Germination
Squash seeds typically take 7-14 days to germinate under optimal conditions.
Keep the soil consistently moist, but not waterlogged, during germination.
Spacing & Growing Conditions
Within Rows: Thin seedlings to 18-24 inches apart to ensure enough space for each plant to grow.
Between Rows: Space rows about 3-4 feet apart to allow the vines to spread freely.
Mulching: Apply organic mulch around the plants to retain moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature.
Care & Maintenance
Watering: Water deeply and consistently, ensuring the soil remains moist but not soaked. Squash requires about 1 inch of water per week.
Fertilization: Use a balanced fertilizer before planting, and once the vines start growing. Squash benefits from consistent feeding during the growing season.
Weed Control: Mulch to prevent weeds, or manually remove any weeds that may compete for nutrients and space.
Pest & Disease Control: Monitor for common pests like squash bugs, aphids, and cucumber beetles. Use row covers or organic pesticides if necessary.
Harvesting
Squash Fruits: Ready for harvest 80-100 days after sowing when the skin has hardened, and the squash feels heavy for its size.
Harvest by cutting the squash from the vine, leaving a few inches of stem attached to ensure the squash stays fresh longer.
Storage
Store harvested squash in a cool, dry, and dark place for up to 2-3 months.
You can also cure the squash by leaving it in a warm, dry area for 7-10 days to toughen the skin before storing.
