Hazzard's Greenhouse Summer Squash

This packet contains 100 seeds. Assuming a standard germination rate, you can expect a significant yield, though you should plan for spacing requirements as squash plants typically need 2 to 3 feet of room to spread.

While they can be grown in large containers, these plants thrive best in-ground where their roots have ample space to spread. If you choose containers, ensure they are at least 5 gallons in size and provide consistent moisture.

Summer squash are warm-weather crops that are sensitive to frost. Plant them directly in the garden once the soil has warmed up and all danger of frost has passed in your specific region.

For the best flavor and texture, harvest the squash when they are small to medium-sized, typically 4 to 6 inches in diameter. If you leave them on the vine too long, the skin can become tough and the flavor less delicate.

No, these are bush-type summer squash and do not require trellising. They grow in a compact, mounded habit, making them easy to manage in a standard vegetable patch.
