Homeowner Growing & Maintenance Tips

Plant in a reliably sunny spot. Best in organic-rich, well-drained soil. Keep soil moist, watering freely in dry weather. Fertilize regularly. Allow fruit to fully ripen before harvesting. Summer squash ripens during the hot summer months and, thin-skinned, is best eaten fresh

Usage/Other Information

Superb for eating fresh or added to a variety of dishes. An excellent source of vitamins and minerals.

· Water: Keep well-watered.
· Feed: Use a fertilizer formulated for vegetables.
