Summer squash 'Carnival'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Carnival 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. Carnival requires a loamy soil with a ph of 5.6 - 7.5 - it grows best in weakly acidic soil to weakly alkaline soil.

Try to aim for a seed spacing of at least 1.46 feet (45.0 cm) and sow at a depth of around 0.98 inches (2.5 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 18°C / 64°F to ensure good germination.

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

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