Growing Organic Scallop Yellow Bush Summer Squash in the Vegetable Garden
Sow outdoors after frost when soil warms, or start indoors 3 to 4 weeks early in biodegradable cells. Plant 2 to 3 seeds per hill and thin to the strongest seedling. Give 24 to 36 inches between plants, with 48 to 72 inches between rows. Mulch to conserve moisture and suppress weeds, and feed at first bloom and early fruit set.
Encourage pollinators for best yields. Keep leaves dry by watering at the base. Harvest frequently to maintain steady production and the best texture.
Harvesting of Organic Scallop Yellow Bush Summer Squash
Pick at 2 to 3 inches across, while skins are glossy and tender. Cut with a short stem to prevent tearing. Use promptly for peak flavor, or refrigerate unwashed for several days.
