When it comes to growing summer squash, it's important to remember that summer squash needs lots of sun and thrives best in warmer climates.
Summer squash cannot tolerate frost so plant them after the soil warms up and space them about 2 feet apart in any direction.
Germination takes 5-7 days ideally should be watered at least twice.
Summer squash does not need transplanting.
Summer squash seeds you should put about an inch into the soil
(cover it with soil, keep it moist)
**Please note Mice & Voles love squash seeds so check for any mice or vole activity, if found, you may need to replant**

and after you pick your first couple, enjoy the bounty of your garden.
