3’ Bush Type Vine
This variety of summer squash is very popular, easy to grow and fast maturing, producing a generous crop of delicious and delicately flavored fruits. Plants are compact bush type bearing handsome oblong dark green fruits.
SOW…Plant seed outdoors in late spring when the ground is warm and all danger of frost is past. Make a group of 3-5 seeds placed in a ring about 6 inches across; cover with ½ inch of fine soil, well pressed down. Each ring of seeds is called a hill and hills should be spaced 3 to 4 feet apart each way.
THIN…When plants are 2 to 3 inches tall, leaving the 2 or 3 strongest plants in each hill.
GERMINATION…Germinates in 10 to 14 days depending on soil and temperature conditions.
REMARKS…Plants continue to produce tender, vitamin rich fruit until frost if all fruit are picked before they mature. Fruits are best picked when they are 6-8 inches long. Cooked like summer squash, used fresh or fried in butter.Share
