🌱 Winter Squash (Kaddu) Growing Guide

🗓 Winter Squash Seeds Sowing Season

The ideal sowing time for winter squash depends on your climate zone. Plant seeds when the soil temperature reaches at least 60°F (16°C). In most regions, this is typically from late September to February.

🌿 Soil Preparation

Winter squash plants thrive in well-draining, fertile soil with a pH between 6.0 and 6.8.

1. Clear the Area – Remove weeds and debris from the planting site.

2. Amend the Soil – Mix in compost or well-rotted manure to improve fertility.

3. Test the Soil – Check pH and nutrient levels; adjust if necessary.

🌰 Planting Seeds

🌞 Direct Sowing Outdoors

• Depth: Sow seeds 2–2.5 cm deep.

• Spacing: Space plants 90–120 cm apart in rows or 3–5 seeds per hill, with 120–150 cm between hills.

• Thinning: Once seedlings emerge, keep only the strongest plant per spot or hill.

🏠 Starting Seeds Indoors

• Containers: Use biodegradable pots or seed trays with seed-starting mix.

• Depth: Plant seeds 2.5 cm deep.

• Transplanting: Harden off seedlings before moving them outside after frost danger has passed.

💧 Watering & Fertilizing

• Watering: Keep soil consistently moist, especially during flowering and fruit development. Water deeply at the base to avoid wetting foliage.

• Mulching: Apply mulch to retain moisture, regulate temperature, and suppress weeds.

• Feeding: Use a balanced fertilizer or compost tea every 2–3 weeks during the growing season.

🐛 Pest & Disease Management

• Pests: Watch for squash bugs, cucumber beetles, and vine borers. Use row covers, hand-picking, or insecticidal soap.

• Diseases: Prevent fungal issues by ensuring good air circulation, avoiding overhead watering, and rotating crops. Remove infected plants promptly.

🌿 Training & Pruning

• Vining Varieties: Train on trellises or supports to save space and improve airflow.

• Bush Varieties: Require less training but may need occasional pruning of crowded or damaged leaves.

⏳ Harvesting

Winter squash is ready to harvest 90–100 days after sowing. The skin should be firm, and the stem should start to dry.
