Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

No special preparation is required for Uchiki Kuri squash seeds.

Sowing:

Direct sow seeds outdoors after the danger of frost has passed and soil temperatures have warmed to at least 60°F (16°C).
Plant seeds 1 inch deep and space them 3-4 feet apart in rows that are 5-6 feet apart.
Alternatively, start seeds indoors 3-4 weeks before the last expected frost. Use biodegradable pots to minimize root disturbance during transplanting.

Germination:

Seeds typically germinate within 7-10 days under optimal conditions.
Maintain soil moisture during germination but avoid overwatering.

Transplanting:

If starting indoors, transplant seedlings outdoors after the danger of frost has passed and seedlings have developed 2-3 true leaves.
Harden off seedlings by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions over a period of 7-10 days before planting them in their final position.

Care and Maintenance:

Watering: Provide consistent moisture throughout the growing season. Water deeply when the soil feels dry, but avoid waterlogging which can lead to root rot.
Mulching: Apply mulch around the plants to retain soil moisture and suppress weeds.
Support: Uchiki Kuri squash plants generally do not require support, but it's beneficial to keep fruits off the ground to prevent rotting and pest damage.
