Planting & Care
Sow Cupcake Squash seeds directly outdoors after the last frost date, when soil temperature is at least 60°F (15°C). Plant seeds 1 inch deep in hills or rows, spacing 24-36 inches apart. Keep soil consistently moist until germination, which typically occurs in 7-14 days. Once seedlings emerge, thin to the strongest plants.
Provide regular watering and mulch to retain moisture. Harvest fruits when they are 2-3 inches in diameter for best flavor and texture. Regular harvesting encourages continued production. Monitor for common pests and diseases, and practice crop rotation to maintain soil health.
