Growing Summer Squash

  • Once the threat of frost has subsided, it is suitable to sow summer squash; as for winter squash, mid-summer presents an opportune moment to plant.
  • Ensure optimal growth of squash plants by providing ample space for them to spread out. Plant them at a distance of 3 to 6 feet from each other. Choose a sunny location that receives at least 6 hours of sunlight per day and has well-drained soil to promote healthy growth.
  • Enhance your natural soil with a nutrient-rich blend of aged compost or other organic matter.
  • Consistent moisture is essential for the healthy development of squash plants. It is important to be mindful of not wetting the leaves. To provide the ideal amount of water, aim for 1 to 1.5 inches on a weekly basis.
  • Once the baby summer squash has developed to a size that is suitable for eating, you can choose to harvest them or you can opt to let them continue growing until they reach their full length of approximately 6 to 8 inches.
