Direct sow or transplant in late spring once the soil is warm. For transplants, start seeds indoors during the first two weeks of May. Optimal soil temperature: 25-35�C (77-95�F). Seeds should germinate in 7-14 days.
Sow seeds 2cm (1?) deep. Sow 3 seeds in each spot where you want a plant to grow, and thin to the strongest plant. Space summer squash 45-60cm (18-24?) apart in rows 90-120cm (36-48?) apart. Give winter squash and pumpkins even more room with a minimum of 90-120cm (36-48?) apart in rows 120-180cm (48-72?) apart.
