Growing Instructions

Starting your seeds

You can start yellow squash seeds indoors using a heat mat to encourage germination. Once the seedlings sprout and grow a few sets of leaves, move them outdoors. Keep the soil moist and provide 6–8 hours of sunlight daily. When direct sowing round zucchini seeds, plant them about 1 inch deep in well-drained soil. Space them 18–24 inches apart to allow for healthy growth and plenty of room for the plants to spread.

Harvesting your seeds

To harvest squash wait until they are about 6 to 8 inches long and still tender. Use a sharp knife or scissors to cut the squash from the plant, leaving a small portion of the stem attached. Regular harvesting encourages more production, so keep an eye on your squash and harvest them before they become overly large and tough.
