Summer squash 'orange dawn'

orange dawn likes a position of full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that orange dawn 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. Planting orange dawn in loamy soil with a ph of between 5.6 and 7.5 is ideal for as it does 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 orange dawn about 14 days after your last frost date.

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