How to Grow:

Sow seeds outdoors in late May and June after the danger of frost has passed. Seeds can also be started indoors in paper or fibre pots 3 weeks earlier. Squash are a hot weather crop and need rich, well drained, organic soil with a pH of 5.5 to 6.5. Work in plenty of compost before planting. Sow seeds 2.5cm (1in) deep in hills 2.4m (8ft) apart with 4-6 seeds per hill. After germination, thin to 3-4 plants per hill.
