5. Summer Squash Rush
Believe it or not, you can maintain a steady supply of summer squash all throughout the year using a method known as succession plantings. Start by planting half of your summer squash once the ground has managed to warm up following the latest frost.
You need to ensure that your soil temperature is at least 65 degrees Fahrenheit, but preferably higher. The high temperature is essential to proper germination. Squash has very fragile roots which is why we suggest that you start it out inside and let it build its strength and then move it outside.
It’s important that you give each squash its own pot. While sharing pots is a viable option for other plants, it isn’t a good idea with squash. If you start growing your squash inside, give it a couple of weeks before you move it outside to ensure that it’s strong enough to survive the move.
