Planting Tips:
Vegetable Spaghetti Squash grows best in warm, fertile, well-drained soil and full sun. Sow seeds directly outdoors after the danger of frost has passed and soil temperatures reach at least 70°F. Allow plenty of space for vigorous vines to spread and water regularly, especially during flowering and fruit development. Harvest squash when the skin turns golden-yellow and the rind becomes hard enough to resist scratching with a fingernail. Cure and store in a cool, dry location for longer storage.
