Squash Jack be Little

SOWING INFO

Squash are very fast growing so do not be tempted to start too early. Sow seeds on their edge 1.5cm deep in small pots of peat free compost. Keep at a temperature of 20-25 C until after germination, which usually takes 7-10 days.

GROWING INFO

Plant out after all risk of frost has passed into a sunny position. Keep well watered to avoid issues with powdery mildew. Plants will trail or climb so can be grown up a trellis to save space. For longest storage times keep in a cool, dry, dark environment.
