Planting Instructions

Seed Preparation:

Soak seeds in water for 24 hours before planting to soften the seed coat and encourage quicker germination.

Sowing:

Direct sow the seeds outdoors after the last frost date when the soil temperature reaches at least 70°F (21°C).
Plant seeds 1 inch deep in hills or rows.
If planting in hills: Space hills 3 to 4 feet apart and plant 4-5 seeds per hill, thinning to the strongest 2-3 seedlings.
If planting in rows: Space seeds 2-3 feet apart in rows that are 3-4 feet apart.

Germination:

Seeds typically germinate in 7-10 days under ideal conditions.
Maintain consistent soil moisture during the germination period.

Transplanting:

If starting seeds indoors, plant seeds in biodegradable pots 2-4 weeks before the last frost date.
Transplant seedlings outdoors when they have 2-3 true leaves and all danger of frost has passed.
Ensure to harden off seedlings by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions over a period of 7-10 days before transplanting.

Care and Maintenance:

Water regularly, aiming for 1-2 inches per week, and mulch to retain soil moisture and control weeds.
Apply a balanced fertilizer every 3-4 weeks to encourage healthy growth.
Provide support if necessary to keep the fruit off the ground, such as stakes or a small trellis.
Monitor for pests such as squash bugs and aphids, and apply organic pest control methods as needed.
Harvest fruits when they are 4-6 inches in diameter for the best flavor and texture. Regular harvesting encourages continued production.

Happy gardening!
