Planting & Care

Sow Bennings Green Tint Scallop Squash seeds outdoors after the last frost date, when soil has warmed to at least 60°F (15°C). Plant seeds 1 inch deep, 2–3 seeds per hill, with hills spaced 24–36 inches apart. Thin seedlings to the strongest plant per hill once they have two true leaves. For an earlier start, sow seeds indoors 2–3 weeks before the last frost in biodegradable pots and transplant carefully, as squash roots are sensitive to disturbance.

Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, and mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Feed with a balanced fertilizer if growth appears slow. Harvest fruits regularly when they are 2–4 inches in diameter to encourage continued production. Watch for common pests like squash bugs and cucumber beetles, and practice crop rotation to reduce disease pressure.
