Cultivation Advice Squash Little Gem Trailing
- A sunny spot protected from strong winds is essential.
- The soil must be well drained and rich in humus, the more the better.
- I fill each hole at least 12” square
- with garden compost and paper at the bottom into which goes a single plant.
- For bush varieties 24in between each plant is fine – 48in for vines.
- Many winter Squash / Pumpkins like to sprawl out and need plenty of space.
- Vining Squash / Pumpkins require a larger area to run,
- whilst semi-vining and bush varieties of winter squash / courgette can be well contained.
- If space is tight just keep turning the branches back to the centre to prevent spreading and over-running other plants.
