Cucurbita, Squash (Summer) Garden Spineless Hybrid
- Sun Preference
- Full-Sun, Part-Sun
Description
This squash’s open growth habit makes it easy to see squash for picking, and spineless foliage means no scratchy stems. Long, cylindrical, green-flecked fruit is delicious raw and stir-fried. Resistant to powdery mildew, watermelon mosaic virus, and zucchini yellow mosaic virus.
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. Young fruits have the best flavor. Pick regularly to encourage more fruit.
