Growing Information

How to Sow

Squashes need warm soil to germinate, so start in pots if you want to get a head start. Your seeds are planted 1cm deep, and give each plant 100cm between it and its neighbour.

How to Harvest

Pick your fruits using sharp scissors or a knife when the turn yellow and are 5-10cm wide. If left too long they will start to become tough.
