Sowing info

Squash are very fast growing and will quickly become large plants, so do not be tempted to start too early. Sow seeds 1.5cm deep in small pots filled with peat free compost. Sow the seeds on their side, if laid flat, water can sit on top of the seed and cause it to rot. Keep at a temperature of 20-25C until after germination, which usually takes 7-10 days.

Growing info

This squash will thrive in a sheltered, sunny spot. They are small and light so are perfect for growing vertically over an arch or trellis. When the fruits start to swell, feed every few weeks with an organic fertilizer. Expect a harvest around 95 days from planting out.
