Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

• Squash seeds do not require special preparation, but soaking them in water overnight can soften the seed coat and improve germination.

Sowing:

• Choose a sunny location with well-draining soil.
• Wait until soil temperatures reach at least 70°F (21°C) before sowing.
• Plant seeds 1 inch deep, placing 2–3 seeds per mound.
• Space mounds 3–6 feet apart, depending on plant growth requirements.

Germination:

• Seeds typically germinate within 7–14 days in warm soil.
• Keep soil consistently moist but avoid waterlogging.

Transplanting:

• For an early start in cooler climates, begin seeds indoors 2–3 weeks before the last frost in biodegradable pots.
• Once seedlings develop true leaves and the risk of frost has passed, transplant them into the garden.
• Handle seedlings carefully to avoid disturbing the roots and plant at the same depth as in pots.

Care & Maintenance:

• Maintain consistent moisture, particularly in hot, dry conditions. Water at the base to prevent fungal issues.
• Apply mulch to retain soil moisture, regulate temperature, and suppress weeds.
• Monitor for common squash pests such as vine borers and squash bugs, treating infestations promptly.
• Harvest squash when fully mature, cutting fruit from the vine with pruners, leaving a short stem attached.
