Grow the best organic squash in your home garden
Zucchini bread, zucchini noodles, zucchini chips, squash soup, spaghetti squash—there is no shortage of recipes to help put back this prolific garden vegetable.
Organic squash is generally one of two varieties—summer or winter, referring to harvest time and storage potential. Summer squash has thin skin and is tastiest when fresh, though it will keep for weeks in the fridge. Winter squash needs to cure, much like pumpkins or onions, and will store for months. Rich in vitamins A and C, as well antioxidants, water, and fiber, squash is a tasty vegetable to incorporate into your daily diet for gut and skin health.
The right climate for organic squash
Whether a summer or winter variety, organic squash grows much the same. Organic squash plants are in the gourd family and are native to North America. Squash is a vigorous grower in areas that have warm climates and full sun, and will produce countless fruits until the first frost or until the foliage succumbs to powdery mildew—whichever comes first.
Summer squash varieties are bushy—meaning, plants are determinate and don’t travel much vertically, while still producing multiple fruits from the same plant. Winter squash varieties are vining. These indeterminate plants will travel upwards of 20 feet from their original location, producing a trail of gourds along the way.
Where to plant organic squash seeds
Does that mean that you need acres of space to grow squash? Not necessarily. Both summer and winter squash do remarkably well in container gardens or raised beds. Some winter squash may benefit from vertical trellising if the fruits are on the smaller side.
Start both summer and winter squash indoors to get a jumpstart on the growing season. Alternatively, organic squash seeds can be direct sown in mounds once the danger of frost has passed. Organic squash love full sun and nutrient-rich soil, and plants benefit from regular fertilizing and deep watering. Plant summer squash seeds or seedlings every six inches and winter squash seedlings about three feet apart.
You might as well buy a few varieties of summer squash and winter squash both to keep yourself (and your friends) in squash all summer long. Whether you love Dark Green Zucchini or Acorn Table Queen, Eden Brothers is sure to have a variety of squash that you'll realize you can't do without.
