Patty Pan Squash

Growing from seed

Start Patty Pan Squash indoors about 3 weeks before your last frost, keeping seeds in warm soil (around 20–25 °C). Seeds usually come up in around 7 days. Move seedlings out once the danger of frost has passed, in full sun, spaced about 90 cm apart. Expect to harvest in roughly 55 days.
