Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

No special preparation needed for squash seeds.

Sowing:

Start seeds indoors 3-4 weeks before the last frost date in your area.

Plant seeds 1 inch deep in biodegradable pots or seed trays filled with seed-starting mix.

Keep the soil consistently moist and maintain a temperature of 70-85°F (21-29°C) for optimal germination.

Germination:

Seeds typically germinate within 7-14 days under proper conditions.

Once seedlings have developed 2-3 true leaves, transplant them outdoors after the danger of frost has passed.

Transplanting:

Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil.

Space plants 3-5 feet apart in rows that are 6-10 feet apart to allow for vine spread.

Amend the soil with compost before planting to improve fertility.

Care and Maintenance:

Water plants deeply once a week, providing about 1-2 inches of water.

Mulch around plants to retain soil moisture and suppress weeds.

Monitor for pests and diseases, and treat promptly if necessary.

Harvest squash when fruits are firm and fully colored, typically 50-60 days after transplanting.
