Greenhouse or indoor start – In colder regions, start seeds indoors 3-4 weeks before transplanting outside.
Direct sowing – For best results, sow seeds directly in warm, well-drained soil.
To grow strong, productive Cucurbita plants:
Provide full sun – At least 6-8 hours per day.
Use rich, well-draining soil – Add compost or organic matter for nutrients.
Water consistently – Keep the soil moist but avoid overwatering.
Mulch around plants – Helps retain moisture and reduce weeds.
Support vining varieties – Use trellises or space them properly for best results.
Yes! Most Cucurbita plants rely on bees and other pollinators to set fruit. To improve pollination:
Plant flowers nearby to attract pollinators.
Avoid pesticides that harm beneficial insects.
Hand-pollinate if pollinators are scarce – Transfer pollen between male and female flowers using a small brush.
For a larger, healthier harvest:
Feed plants organically – Use compost tea, seaweed extract, or organic fertilizers.
Space plants correctly – Prevents overcrowding and allows airflow.
Harvest at the right time – Pick summer squash young for tenderness; allow winter squash to mature for full flavor.
To save seeds for next season:
Select healthy, mature fruits from strong plants.
Scoop out seeds and rinse to remove pulp.
Dry seeds completely in a warm, ventilated area.
Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.
Properly stored seeds can remain viable for 3-5 years.
