SOWING: After all danger of frost, in a sunny location, sow 5 seeds to a depth of 1 inch. Space evenly over a hill 9 to 12 inches tall and 2 feet across. Space the hills 3 feet apart.

GERMINATION: 7-10 days, depending upon soil and weather conditions.

THINNING AND TRANSPLANTING: When plants are 3 inches tall, thin by cutting to the 3 strongest seedlings per hill. Space rows 4 feet apart.

SUGGESTIONS:  Pick summer squash early and often.  Not picking will stop production of plants.  Ready to harvest just after blossom falls from the fruit and fruit can be easily dented with thumbnail. To avoid weeding, mulch heavily around plants and in the rows.
