HEIRLOOM SUMMER SQUASH

Description/Instruction by
Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Company

Grown for immature fruits which can be harvested all summer long. Very heavy feeders, they need soil heavily amended with manure, compost or other source of lots of nutrients. Sow in place in full sun after last frost; or start a couple weeks earlier indoors, but never let squash transplants become root bound, and do not disturb the roots in transplanting. Seeds are sown up to one inch deep. Summer squash are bush type plants that may be grown 4-5 feet apart.
