Squash, Summer, Early Prolific Straightneck (Cucurbita pepo) - 50 Seeds

This is a very productive variety of summer squash that is quite popular. These compact, bush type plants produce heavy yields of lemon-yellow club shaped squashes in small spaces. These are best when picked at 6 inches which takes about 50 days. The firm grained flesh is excellent and is a big reason for their popularity.•1938 All America Selection winner•Heirloom•Non-GMO•Open Pollinated•American grown seeds•50-60 Days•USDA Zones 3-12Growing Instructions:Gardeners with short growing seasons may want to start their squash seeds indoors a month before the last expected frost. Since squashes do not take well to transplanting, peat pots are the best option. Plant 2 seeds per pot, later clipping off the weaker seedling. Harden the seedlings by exposing them to weather for several hours a day for a week before transplanting them after the last frost once soil temps average above 65°F. Plant in very rich soil, 8-10 inches apart in rows 10-12" apart.To direct sow, plant the seeds a week or so
