Summer Squash Growing Guide

Outdoor Sowing (Directly in the Garden)

  • Timing: Sow summer squash seeds outdoors after the last frost date, when the soil has warmed to at least 65°F.
  • Location: Choose a sunny spot with at least 6–8 hours of direct sunlight daily. Summer squash thrives in fertile, well-draining soil.
  • Soil Preparation: Loosen the soil to a depth of 12 inches and incorporate compost or well-rotted manure to improve fertility and drainage. Maintain a slightly acidic to neutral soil pH of 6.0–7.5.
  • Planting Seeds:
    • Sow seeds 1 inch deep, spacing them 2–3 feet apart in rows or hills.
    • Space rows 4–6 feet apart for adequate airflow.
  • Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water deeply and regularly, especially during flowering and fruiting.

General Care Tips for Summer Squash

  • Sunlight: Provide full sun for optimal growth and fruit production.
  • Fertilizing: Enrich the soil with compost before planting and side-dress with a balanced fertilizer every 3–4 weeks during the growing season.
  • Weeding: Keep the area weed-free to reduce competition for nutrients and water. Mulch around plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
  • Pest and Disease Control: Monitor for pests like squash bugs and cucumber beetles. Use row covers to protect young plants and apply organic pest control as needed. Ensure good airflow to prevent powdery mildew.
  • Harvesting: Harvest summer squash when fruits are 6–8 inches long for optimal tenderness, typically 50–60 days after planting. Use a sharp knife or scissors to cut the fruit from the plant.
