For zones 3-12 squash are a staple in your Organic garden and prefer full sun. These can be started 4 weeks early in pots (peat pots are recommended) but we find they do best if direct sown in the garden in the spring after your last frost. In the spring work your garden soil 6" deep and sow seeds 1" deep and 3-4 feet apart. In the garden we lightly dust with screened peat to keep the birds from eating them. Squash thrive in moist soil. Water from the base and not from overhead. Planting at least 2 squash plants for cross pollination is suggested for a generous harvest, but it is not required.
