Squash ‘Summer Mix’ bears prolific crops that can be harvested from June to October, with mature fruits storing well. Bushy plants produce long, spiny stems bearing plenty of scalloped fruits if harvested regularly

Sowing Info

Sow seeds April to May indoors 3-4 weeks before last spring frost. Sow seeds 1cm (½in) deep, in pots of moist seed sowing mix. Place in a propagator or warm place, and keep at a constant temperature of between 20-25°C (68-77°F). After sowing, do not exclude light as this helps germination. Keep the surface of the seed sowing mix moist but not waterlogged; germination will usually take 5-7 days. Can also be sown direct outdoors once the soil has warmed and all risk of frost has passed.

Growing Info

When at the two leaf stage, transplant seedlings on into 13cm (5in) pots for a few weeks before planting out, 75cm (30in) apart in a sunny sheltered spot on rich, well-drained soil.
