Squash Sunburst (50 Days)

Sunburst squash is a bright yellow summer squash known for its scalloped shape and tender, buttery flavor. This early-maturing variety is versatile in the kitchen, perfect for grilling, sautéing, or adding to salads.

Planting Instructions: Sow Sunburst squash seeds directly in the garden after the last frost, once the soil has warmed to at least 21°C (70°F). Plant seeds 1 inch deep, spacing them 18-24 inches apart in rows 3-4 feet apart. Sunburst squash thrives in full sun and well-drained, fertile soil enriched with compost.

Growing Tips: Water regularly, keeping the soil moist but not waterlogged, especially during flowering and fruit development. Use mulch to help retain moisture and control weeds. Harvest the squash when they are 3-4 inches in diameter for optimal flavor.
