How to grow Winter squash 'Golden Hubbard'

  • Partial Sun

  • Medium

Try to plant in a location that enjoys partial sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Golden Hubbard is thought of as tender, so it is really important to plant out well after your last frost date. Try to keep the ph of your soil between the range of 6.1 and 7.5 as Golden Hubbard likes to be in weakly acidic soil - weakly alkaline soil.

Growing Golden Hubbard from seed

Sow at a depth of approx. 1.17 inches (3.0 cm) and aim for a distance of at least 2.28 feet (70.0 cm) between Winter squash plants. Soil temperature should be kept higher than 15°C / 59°F to ensure good germination.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Golden Hubbard about 10 days before your last frost date.

Transplanting Golden Hubbard

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Golden Hubbard is a tender plant.
