- Soil requirements: Carnival 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: Carnival squash plants need consistent moisture, especially during the growing season. Water the plants deeply once a week, ensuring the soil remains moist but not waterlogged. Mulching can help retain soil moisture.
- Planting season: The best time to plant carnival squash seeds is in the spring, after the last frost date has passed and the soil has warmed up to at least 60°F (15°C).
- Depth and spacing: Plant the seeds about 1 inch deep and space them 3 to 4 feet apart in rows that are 5 to 6 feet apart. This spacing allows the plants to spread and grow without overcrowding.
- Germination time: Carnival squash seeds typically germinate within 7 to 10 days under optimal conditions.
- Maturity time: Carnival squash usually reaches maturity in about 85 to 100 days after planting.
- Harvesting time: The best time to harvest carnival squash is when the skin is hard and the color is vibrant. This is usually in the late summer to early fall. Harvest in the morning when the temperatures are cooler.
- Harvesting tips: Use a sharp knife or pruning shears to cut the squash from the vine, leaving a few inches of stem attached. This helps prolong storage life. Store the harvested squash in a cool, dry place with good air circulation. Avoid stacking them to prevent bruising.
