Planting & Care

Sow Ronde de Nice squash seeds directly outdoors after the last frost date, when soil has warmed to at least 60°F (15°C). Plant seeds 1 inch deep in hills or rows, spacing 2-3 seeds every 24-36 inches. Keep the soil evenly moist until germination, which typically occurs in 7-14 days. Thin seedlings to the strongest plant per hill once they have two true leaves.

Provide consistent watering and mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Harvest fruits regularly to encourage continued production. For best flavor and texture, pick when fruits are young and tender, about 2-3 inches across.
