Growing Organic Early White Bush Scallop Summer Squash in the Vegetable Garden

Water steadily during flowering and fruit set. Side-dress with compost or a balanced fertilizer as plants begin to bloom. Harvest frequently to encourage continuous production and maintain tender, high-quality fruits.
Harvesting of Organic Early White Bush Scallop Summer Squash

Stories/Tips From Our Gardeners
"The trick with patty pan types (like most summer squash) is to catch them young. Before the seed cavity develops. I like them about 3 inches across. This means checking every day during the production season. Turn your back on them and they turn into Frisbees."
