Cultivation advice Organic Squash Muscade De Provence
- Best germinated under cover or in a propagator from early spring with warmth provided. ( Min 21 )
- A sunny spot protected from strong winds is essential.
- The soil must be well drained and rich in humus, the more the better. Fill each hole at least 12? square with garden compost and paper at the bottom into which goes a single plant.
- Winter Squash / Pumpkins like to sprawl out and need plenty of space. Vining Squash / Pumpkins require a larger area to run, if space is tight just keep turning the branches back to the centre to prevent spreading and over-running other plants.
