Summer Squash – White Scallop (Patty Pan) – Cucurbita pepo

Soil & Water: Enrich soil heavily with mature compost. Plant in full sun and water moderately letting soil dry between watering.

Planting & Growing: Start seeds indoors 3-4 weeks before the last frost, or sow seed directly once soils are at least 70ËšF and the danger of frost has passed. Provide squash plants with deep mounds of organic matter, rich soil, and heavy, even water.
