Summer Squash Seeds

Useful gardening infomation

Use light soil with a high organic content for most successful culture. The summer varieties, nearly all of which are bush growth, should be planted in hills 4’ apart each way, while the winter or other runner varieties require 8-10’. When thinning, save only 3-4 plants per hill. You can start plants early in peat pots indoors. As soon as seedlings in the garden emerge from the soil, begin regular dusting with recommended insecticides and fungicides to help control Cucumber Beetle, Vine Borer and the spread of diseases that affect squash.
