INTRODUCING SQUASH SEEDS

Squash is one of the oldest cultivated crops. Its origins are in the Americas. This vegetable has been a staple in different diets for years, for its nutritious and versatile nature. Squash plants are divided into summer and winter varieties—each with unique growth habits and culinary uses. They grow well in USDA hardiness zones 3 to 13, requiring a warm growing season for fruit development.

HOW TO PLANT SQUASH SEEDS

Plant squash seeds directly in the garden when the soil has warmed. Since there is such a wide variety of squash plants, it’s best to consult your package for spacing information and the particular needs of your given variety, which may include support for vining plants. For a continuous harvest, you can stagger plantings throughout the early growing season.

MAINTAINING SQUASH PLANTS

Squash plants need regular and significant watering, especially during fruit development. This will ensure juicy, well-formed fruits. Mulching is suggested for controlling weeds and preventing water evaporation. Provide plants with a trellis for vining varieties. It saves space and reduces fruit rot. Squash plants are susceptible to pests like squash bugs. Diseases like powdery mildew are common as well, so regular monitoring and management are important to maintain a healthy plant.
