Thank you so much to everyone who made the 2025 Spring Sale a success! I had so much fun, and am already itching to get started on next year's sale!
Including green zucchini and yellow squash. Prolific growers with mild flavor and tender skin, great for grilling, baking, or stir-fry.

Growing Basics
- Squash are annuals in Minnesota.
- Sunlight: Full sun (6+ hours daily).
- Soil: Well-drained, nutrient-rich soil.
- Transplanting: Plant at the same depth as in the pot when soil reaches 65°; handle gently to avoid disturbing roots. These guys don't like to share space! If your seedling container has multiple plants, cut all but 1 down to soil level (don't pull them out, you don't want to disturb the roots); otherwise, space them about 12" apart.
- Watering: Keep soil consistently moist; water at the base to avoid mildew.
- Fertilization: Use balanced fertilizer (10-10-10) every 2-3 weeks; increase potassium during fruiting.
Other Tips
- Mulch to retain moisture.
- Harvest when fruits are 6-8 inches long for best flavor and texture. Pick often to encourage more fruit.
