How to grow Winter squash 'Grey'

  • Full Sun

  • Medium

Position in a full sun location and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Grey 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. Try to keep the ph of your soil between the range of 5.6 and 7.5 as Grey likes to be in weakly acidic soil - weakly alkaline soil.

Growing Grey from seed

Sow 1.95 inches (5.0 cm) deep with a guideline distance of 1.95 feet (60.0 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 15°C / 59°F to ensure good germination.

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

Transplanting Grey

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