Tips for Growing

📌Location: Select a planting site that receives at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily.

🌱Soil Preparation: Ensure the soil is well-drained to prevent waterlogging and root rot. Pattypan squash prefers a slightly acidic to neutral soil pH (6.0-7.0). Enrich the soil with compost or well-rotted manure to improve fertility and drainage. Loosen the soil to a depth of 12 inches to promote root growth.

🚿Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water deeply once a week, providing about 1 inch of water.

🪴Mulching: Apply mulch around the plants to help retain soil moisture and reduce weeds.

👨‍🌾Fertilization: Use a balanced fertilizer (e.g., 10-10-10) at planting time. Apply a side-dressing of compost or fertilizer once the plants start to flower. Too much nitrogen can result in lush foliage with fewer fruits.

🦋Pest and Disease Management: Watch for squash bugs, cucumber beetles, and vine borers. Use row covers to protect young plants and apply neem oil or insecticidal soap as needed. Ensure good air circulation to prevent fungal diseases. Water at the base of the plants to keep foliage dry and reduce the risk of powdery mildew.

🎃Harvesting: Pick pattypan squash when they are 2-4 inches in diameter for the best flavor and texture. Harvest regularly to encourage continuous production and prevent the fruits from becoming too large and tough.
