Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

No special preparation required. However, soaking seeds in water for 1-2 hours before planting can help speed up germination.

Sowing:

Plant seeds directly into the garden after the danger of frost has passed and soil temperature is consistently above 60°F (16°C).
Sow seeds 1 inch deep and space them 24-36 inches apart in rows spaced 3-4 feet apart.
Alternatively, start seeds indoors in biodegradable pots 3-4 weeks before the last frost date. Transplant seedlings outdoors after hardening off and when they have 2-3 true leaves.

Germination:

Seeds typically germinate within 7-10 days under optimal conditions.
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged during the germination period.

Transplanting:

If starting seeds indoors, transplant seedlings outdoors after the danger of frost has passed and they are acclimatized to outdoor conditions.
Ensure seedlings have plenty of space to grow and develop.

Care and Maintenance:

Watering: Keep the soil evenly moist, especially during dry spells. Avoid overhead watering to prevent fungal diseases.
Mulching: Apply a layer of mulch around plants to retain soil moisture and suppress weeds.
Harvesting: Harvest summer squash when they are young and tender, typically 6-8 inches long. Regular harvesting encourages continuous production.
