Cultivation advice

Sowing

The seed can be sown directly in the open field when the soil is properly warmed up (min. 15°C). It will not germinate, but will rot if the soil is cool. It is safest to start the plants indoors or in a greenhouse. Sow about 3 cm deep in pots, about 4 weeks before the estimated planting out. Keep at about 23-25 ​​degrees until the seeds germinate. Then leave them in a fairly warm, bright and airy place. Harden them off gradually and plant out when the soil has warmed up and the risk of night frost has completely passed. Squash has sensitive roots, so be careful when planting.

Spacing

Between plants 40-80 cm and 90-130 cm between rows. In group planting: 3-4 plants/group and 120-150 cm between the groups.

Harvest

Always cut off the fruits when they are 10-20 cm long. They taste best when. Raw, cooked, fried, etc. 

Seed

1 g has 7-10 seeds. A portion of about 1 g of gives at least five good plants in the greenhouse. For a 100 meters stretch of plants approx. 40g is needed.
