What you need to know to Plant & Grow
Summer squash are heat-loving crops that thrive in full sun with organic-rich soil and careful transplanting to protect sensitive root systems.
-
Direct Sowing (Recommended): Direct sow seeds outdoors from late May to mid-June once soil temperatures have warmed thoroughly. Plant seeds 2.5 cm deep in hills spaced 2.4 m apart, placing 4 to 6 seeds per hill. Thin to the 3 strongest seedlings per hill after emergence.
-
Indoor Starting: In shorter-season regions, start seeds indoors 3 weeks before outdoor planting. Sow directly into paper, fibre, or peat pots to prevent root disturbance during transplanting.
-
Soil Preparation & Care: Work generous amounts of rich compost or organic matter into garden beds prior to planting. Keep soil consistently moist throughout the growing season.
-
Harvesting: Harvest tender fruits frequently when they reach 17 cm in length for optimal texture and straight growth. Regular picking encourages non-stop production throughout the summer until autumn frosts arrive.
