Two weeks after the last spring frost, sow 2-3 seeds each in 6-8 inch mounds. Ensure soil is moist, organically rich, and well-drained with a pH of 6.5-7.0. After germination thin best starts to 1 per mound. Spaghetti Squash loves sun and heat; but it will benefit from a top layer of mulch to help keep soil and roots cool and moist. Fertilize when plants are about 6 inches tall, and when vines begin to flower. Water regularly at the base of the plant to keep foliage dry and, after the peak of summer, remove blossoms to encourage fruiting. 

Harvesting & Curing: Harvest ripe, golden yellow squash, once the stem is solid and the rind is tough, by clipping the stem 3-4" above the squash. Leave squash out in the sun for 10-14 days after harvesting to naturally cure; and store in a cool, dry place. 

Help Your Plants Thrive with Weed Control: Weeds compete with vegetables, flowers and other plants for water, space and nutrients. Give your plants their best life by keeping weeds under control with Organic Weed Barrier Paper, mulch or careful weeding.
