Winter squash 'Big Moon'

Plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Big Moon is thought of as tender, so it is really important to plant out well after your last frost date. A soil ph of between 6.1 and 7.5 is ideal for Big Moon as it does best in weakly acidic soil - weakly alkaline soil.

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 21°C / 70°F to ensure good germination.

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