10-12 seeds per gram. Green Hubbard Squash is a hot weather crop. Needs full sun and deep, rich, well drained, soil with a pH of 5.5 to 6.5. Before planting, work in lots of compost. Directly plant seed outdoors from late May to mid June 2.5 cm (1") deep in hills 2.4 m (8') apart with 4-6 seeds per hill. After germination, thin to 3 plants per hill. Can be started indoors 3 weeks before outdoor planting date. Squash do not transplant well--use paper or fibre pots that can be set directly in the soil.
