How to grow Winter squash 'Avalon'

  • Partial Sun

  • Medium

Try to plant in a location that enjoys partial sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Avalon 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. Avalon requires a soil ph of 6.1 - 7.5 meaning it does best in weakly acidic soil - weakly alkaline soil.

Growing Avalon from seed

Try to aim for a seed spacing of at least 2.28 feet (70.0 cm) and sow at a depth of around 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 Avalon about 10 days before your last frost date.

Transplanting Avalon

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