Summer squash 'Yellow Squash'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Yellow Squash is generally regarded as a tender plant, so remember to ensure that temperatures are mild before moving outdoors. Yellow Squash needs a loamy soil with a ph of 5.6 to 7.5 (weakly acidic soil to weakly alkaline soil).

Aim to sow 0.98 inches (2.5 cm) deep and try to ensure a gap of at least 1.46 feet (45.0 cm). For optimal germination, soil temperature should be a minimum of 18°C / 64°F.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Yellow Squash about 14 days after your last frost date.

Yellow Squash is tender, so ensure you wait until all danger of frost has passed in your area before considering planting outside.
