Where Can You Grow Squash?

Squash grows best in full sun and fertile, well-drained soil. It is a warm-season crop that should be sown after the last frost. Summer squash matures quickly and is harvested young, while winter squash takes longer to grow but rewards with long-storing fruit. Provide plenty of space for vines to spread or use trellises for climbing varieties. Mulch around plants to conserve moisture and suppress weeds.

Health Benefits of Squash

Squash is naturally rich in vitamins A and C, potassium, magnesium, and fibre. Its antioxidant content supports eye health and overall wellness, while its low-calorie, high-nutrient profile makes it a healthy addition to meals year-round.
