Planning your site
Cucurbits grow best outside in the full sun, so if you have the space then go for a large bed full or a raised bed, though they will grow well in large pots as well. Wherever you put them, they will want as much manure/ organic matter as you can give them.
Growing tips
All the Cucurbit family are quite resource hungry! They like lots of space (up to 1.5 metres if possible), as one plant can produce up to 3 – 5 squashes. They also need lots of water and lots of organic matter. You can also grow them up a sturdy trellis, this will prevent any chance of rotting. However, once they have grown at least 2-4kg, you can prop your squashes on a crate or stone to keep them dry. The Spaghetti Squash are usually ready to harvest September-October time.
What to watch out for
Powdery Mildew, which appears as a white powdery deposit over the leaf surface and leaves. Cucumber mosaic virus which shows as a distinctive yellow mosaic patterning and Whitefly.
What to do when your plants arrive
- Unpack them. Your seedlings will arrive carefully packed in bio-degradable straw, cardboard and paper. They may look a little bit bedraggled from their journey. Don’t panic – this is totally normal and they should soon perk up. Please try and unpack your plants as soon as they arrive, as every extra hour they spend in the box will add to the stress of travelling to their new home.
- Give them a drink. Having spent a day or two in the post, your new plants will be thirsty! Stand them up in some fresh water for a few minutes to make sure their roots have been thoroughly soaked before planting.
- Plant them out into their forever home! Your plants can’t wait to get their roots into the soil. Plant them out according to the instructions that will have come in the box with them. Make sure you water them in well, and give them plenty to drink until their roots have had a chance to get settled.
