Seeds need warmth to get started but do well in cooler soil after starter plants are established. When seeds are sown outdoors, wait until the soil reaches 30C (86F) to improve the germination rates. When starter plants are grown indoors you can use a heating pad to help the plants along. Once established the starter plants can be transplanted outdoors into soils temperatures around 15c (60F).
80 Days to Harvest!
10-12 seeds/gram Squash are a hot weather crop. They need full sun and deep, rich, well drained, organic 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. Seed can be started indoors 3 weeks before the plant out date. Squash do not transplant well--use paper or fibre pots that can be set directly in the soil. Protect mature squash from frost and cold temperatures.
