Turban squash

Growing from seed

Direct-sow Turban squash outdoors about 1 weeks after your last frost, keeping seeds in warm soil (around 20–25 °C). Seeds usually come up in around 7 days. Grow in full sun, spaced about 90 cm apart. It is frost-tender, so don't plant out early. Expect to harvest in roughly 100 days.

Turban squash seed rarely stays viable beyond 4 years — track what's still worth sowing.
