Yellow Squash - $3 pre-order and member price; $4 at plant sale

Key Growing Tips: Soil & Planting: Amend soil with compost or manure. Planting in raised hills helps with drainage and soil warmth. Watering: Keep soil consistently moist, but water at the base to prevent powdery mildew. Maintenance: Apply mulch to conserve moisture and control weeds. Pests & Diseases: Monitor for squash bugs (check leaf undersides for eggs), vine borers, and cucumber beetles. Use row covers early on, but remove them once flowers appear for pollination. Harvesting: Harvest when 4-8 inches long for best flavor and texture. Frequent harvesting (every 1-2 days) promotes continued production.
