Squash 'High Sugar Mixed' F1 Hybrid (Winter) is supplied as 1 packet of 10 seeds. Sow from April - May.
Sow
squash seed indoors from April to May for transplanting later on. Sow
squash seeds on their sides in small 7.5cm (3") pots of seed compost at a
depth of about 2cm ( 3/4"). Place in a propagator or seal pots inside a
plastic bag at a temperature of 20-25C (68-77F) until germination which
takes 5-7 days. Do not exclude light, as this helps germination. Once
germinated, grow squash on in cooler conditions until all risk of frost
has passed and squash plants are large enough to be transplanted
outdoors. Gradually acclimatise them to outdoor conditions over 7 - 10
days before planting squash outdoors in warm, well drained, humus rich
soil in full sun,. Choose a spot that receives at least 6 hours of
direct sun per day. Alternatively direct sow squash seeds outdoors
from May once the soil has warmed at a depth of 2cm ( 3/4") and a
distance of 90cm (36") apart. Sow 2 seeds per hole and thin out the
weakest seedling per station after germination. Ideally grow under
cloches until squash plants are established.
Water
squash regularly - do not allow the soil to dry out as this will impair
their development. Hoe between plants regularly to prevent weeds from
establishing. Squash appreciate an application of a high potash
fertiliser every two weeks during the growing season. Harvest squash in
late summer and autumn, before the first frosts, when the skin has
hardened and the fruits start to crack near to the stem. Harvest squash
by cutting each fruit from the stem leaving several inches of the stem
attached.
