SQUASH Winter
WINTER SQUASH CULTURE
After danger of frost, when soil is 55-60°F, sow in rows 6-8 feet apart, 3 seeds per foot, thinning to 1 plant, or plant in hills 6 seeds per hill, thinning to 3 plants per hill 6-8' apart each way. Seeds will not germi- nate in cool soil. Plant seeds 1" deep. Allow 9-12 days for germination. When harvesting, leave stems on the squash. For best storage do not wash and do not bruise. Well-rotted manure mixed into the bottom of each hill will help increase yields. Packets contain 30 seeds unless otherwise stated.
