Grow an abundant summer squash harvest with Green Machine Squash Seeds! Heat-tolerant and drought-resistant, these robust seeds promise a delicious, juicy harvest that will last through the hottest days.
Specification:
- Germination: 7-10 days
- Quantity: 20 Seeds/Pack
Planting Instructions:
Plant summer squash seeds 8 inches apart, poking them into the soil 1 inch deep; water well. Thin seedlings 3 feet apart (If using transplants, set them out 3 feet apart). To prevent insect damage, install protective row covers over your squash as soon as you're done planting.
- Soil requirements: Green Machine Squash seeds prefer well-drained, fertile soil with a pH level between 6.0 and 6.8. The soil should be rich in organic matter to support healthy growth.
- Sunlight needs: These seeds require full sun, which means they need at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight each day.
- Watering requirements: Green Machine Squash plants need consistent moisture. Water them deeply once a week, ensuring the soil remains moist but not waterlogged. Mulching can help retain soil moisture and reduce the frequency of watering.
- Planting season: The best time to plant Green Machine Squash seeds is in the late spring to early summer, after the last frost date has passed and the soil has warmed up to at least 70°F (21°C).
- Depth and spacing: Plant the seeds about 1 inch deep and space them 24 to 36 inches apart in rows that are 3 to 6 feet apart. If planting in hills, space the hills 4 to 6 feet apart with 3 to 4 seeds per hill.
- Germination time: Green Machine Squash seeds typically germinate within 7 to 10 days under optimal conditions.
- Maturity time: Green Machine Squash plants usually reach maturity and are ready for harvest in about 50 to 60 days after planting.
- Harvesting time: The best time to harvest Green Machine Squash is in the early morning when the temperatures are cooler. This helps maintain the freshness and quality of the squash.
- Harvesting tips: Use a sharp knife or pruning shears to cut the squash from the vine, leaving a small portion of the stem attached. Handle the squash carefully to avoid bruising. Store harvested squash in a cool, dry place and use them within a few days for the best flavor and texture.
