Note: Germination instructions are not on seed packets, follow the instructions below for starting seed.
Plant squash seed outdoors after all danger of frost is past and ground is warm. Or you may start squash seed indoors 4 to 6 weeks earlier. Make a group of 4 to 5 seeds placed a ring about 2 inches across; cover squash seed with 1/2 inch of fine soil, well pressed down. Each ring of seeds is called a hill and hills should be spaced 4 feet apart each way.
When squash plants are 3 to 5 inches tall, thin leaving the 3 or 4 strongest plants in each hill.
