3' Bush Type Vine

This variety of summer squash is very popular, easy to grow, and fast maturing, producing a generous crop of delicious and delicately flavored fruits. Plants are compact bush type bearing handsome oblong dark green fruits.

SOWING:
Plant seed outdoors in late spring when the ground is warm and all danger of frost is past. Make a group of 3–5 seeds placed in a ring about six inches across; cover with 1/2 inch of fine soil, well pressed down. Each ring of seeds is called a hill, and hills should be spaced 3 to 4 feet apart each way.

THINNING:
When plants are 2 to 3 inches tall, leave the 2 or 3 strongest plants in each hill.

GERMINATION:
10 to 14 days depending on soil and temperature conditions.

REMARKS:
Plants continue to produce tender, vitamin-rich fruit until frost if all fruit are picked before they mature. Fruits are best picked when they are 6–8 inches long.
