Plant seeds 1 inch deep in hills or rows, spacing 24-36 inches apart. For earlier harvests, start seeds indoors 2-3 weeks before the last frost in biodegradable pots to minimize root disturbance. Provide a sturdy trellis or fence for the vines to climb.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKeep soil evenly moist but not waterlogged, and mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Fertilize lightly when vines begin to run. Harvest young fruit frequently to encourage continued production; for winter squash, allow fruit to mature on the vine until skin hardens. Monitor for common pests like squash bugs and cucumber beetles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e25 Tromboncino Squash Seeds\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67824607035702,"sku":"FOLIA2-726","price":27.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.7095754017_8jtl.jpg?v=1793003591","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/25-tromboncino-squash-seeds-for-planting-italian-heirloom-climbing-zucchini","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
