Winter squash 'Tuffy'

Position in a partial sun location and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Tuffy is thought of as tender, so it is imperative to wait until temperatures are mild before planting out of doors. Tuffy tends to grow best in a soil ph of between 6.1 and 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 Tuffy about 10 days before your last frost date.

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