Shelf Life: Best planted within 1 year for maximum germination
Planting Instructions:
Seed Preparation:
Soak seeds in lukewarm water for 24 hours before planting to enhance germination.
Sowing:
Direct Sowing: Sow seeds directly in the garden after the last frost date when the soil has warmed to at least 70°F (21°C). Plant seeds 1 inch deep, spacing them 2-3 feet apart in rows 3-4 feet apart.
Indoor Starting: Start seeds indoors 3-4 weeks before the last expected frost. Plant seeds 1 inch deep in seed starting mix. Keep soil temperature between 70-85°F (21-29°C) for optimal germination.
Germination:
Seeds typically germinate in 7-10 days under optimal conditions. Ensure consistent moisture and warm temperatures during the germination period.
Transplanting:
Harden off seedlings by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions over 7-10 days. Transplant seedlings outdoors when they have at least 2 sets of true leaves and all danger of frost has passed. Space transplants 2-3 feet apart in rows 3-4 feet apart.
Care and Maintenance:
Watering: Provide regular watering, keeping the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Water at the base of the plants to avoid wetting the foliage.
Mulching: Apply mulch around the plants to retain soil moisture, suppress weeds, and maintain a stable soil temperature.
Support: Provide vine support if necessary, especially in smaller garden spaces. Training vines on trellises can save space and improve air circulation.
Happy gardening and enjoy your harvest of delicious squash!
