SOWING: Seeds directly in the garden in late spring through early summer when all danger of frost has passed and weather has warmed. Plant seeds 1/2 inch deep covering with fine soil.
SPACING: Plant about 6 seeds per hill spaced 3 to 4 feet apart or space rows 3 feet apart.
THINNING: When plants are 3 to 4 inches tall thin to 3 sturdiest plants per hill. In rows thin plants to 18 inches apart.
GERMINATION: 1 to 2 weeks depending upon weather. Keep soil moderately moist during germination.
Ed’s Special Advice: Rich well drained soil in a sunny location, kept fairly well watered is ideal for squash. Avoid overwatering and continual use of high-nitrogen fertilizers. Gather before frost leaving part of stem attached. Cure fruit for one week in warm, dry spot. Store long term in 45° to 55° F area. Avoid over thinning to keep best mix of types.
