5 seeds

1. Sow Indoors/Outdoors: Start seeds indoors 3–4 weeks before the last frost or directly sow outdoors after the danger of frost has passed. Plant seeds 1–1.5 inches deep and space them 36–48 inches apart in rich, well-drained soil.

2. Germination: Keep the soil moist and expect germination in 7–14 days at 70–85°F.

3. Light: Provide full sun for optimal growth and fruit production.

4. Watering: Water consistently, especially during dry periods, but ensure the soil is well-drained to prevent rot.

5. Harvesting: Squash is ready to harvest when the skin is hard and the color has fully developed, typically 90–100 days after sowing.

Squash Queensland Blue is a great choice for gardeners seeking a flavorful, versatile squash that stores well and provides a hearty addition to autumn and winter meals.
