Winter squash 'Lakota'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys partial sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Lakota is thought of as tender, so it is imperative to wait until temperatures are mild before planting out of doors. Lakota requires a soil ph of 6.1 - 7.5 meaning it does best in weakly acidic soil - weakly alkaline soil.

Ensure a distance of 2.28 feet (70.0 cm) between seeds when sowing - look to sow at a depth of approximately 1.17 inches (3.0 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 15°C / 59°F to ensure good germination.

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

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