Growing Summer Squash

Summer squash is a warm season crop, requiring temperatures between 65 and 75 degrees Fahrenheit to grow and bear fruit. Most grow rapidly and will reach maturity in 40 to 50 days, although some zucchini cultivars can take up to 60 days to mature. In cooler climates, start summer squash seeds indoors three to four weeks before the last spring frost. In warmer areas, sow seeds directly in the garden after all frost danger has passed. Whether direct-sowing or transplanting, wait to plant until the soil has warmed to 60 degrees Fahrenheit in the top 6 inches.
