Cucurbita, Squash (Summer) Golden Scallop
- Sun Preference
- Full-Sun, Part-Sun
Description
A true heritage heirloom that originated in the Americas. This scallop (or pattypan) squash features saucer-shaped yellow fruit with tender light green flesh. This is a vigorous and prolific bush variety that requires just five square feet of garden space.
Plant outdoors in full sun and rich soil two weeks after last spring frost. Germinates poorly in soil temperatures below 70°F. Water consistently and feed monthly with a side dressing of compost or vegetable fertilizer. Pick fruits when gold in color but still just 3″ in diameter. Young fruits have the best flavor. Pick regularly to encourage more fruit.
