How to grow Winter squash 'Baby Blue'

  • Full Sun

  • Medium

Plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Baby Blue is thought of as tender, so remember to wait until your soil is warm and the night time temperature is well above freezing before moving outside. A soil ph of between 6.1 and 7.5 is ideal for Baby Blue as it does best in weakly acidic soil - weakly alkaline soil.

Growing Baby Blue from seed

Sow 1.17 inches (3.0 cm) deep with a guideline distance of 2.28 feet (70.0 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 21°C / 70°F to ensure good germination.

Transplanting Baby Blue

As Baby Blue is tender, ensure temperatures are mild enough to plant out - wait until after your last frost date to be on the safe side.
