The best way in how to grow winter squash is to plant the seeds in rich, well-drained soil. Put the seeds into hills and once they come up and grow to about 2 inches (5 cm.) in height, thin the plants to three plants per hill, and put the plants three feet (1 m.) apart.

How is squash grown?

Summer and winter squash are commonly planted in hills about 1 inch (2.5 cm.) deep. Sow seeds only after any danger of frost has ended and the soil has warmed. Usually, only 4 to 5 seeds per hill is plenty, thinning down to 2 or 3 plants per hill once the seedlings have developed their true leaves.

How squash grows step by step?

Set two or three summer squash plants 4 to 6 inches apart in the mound. Water gently with a watering can or gentle spray of a hose immediately after planting. Space mounds about 3 to 4 feet apart. Winter squash, which produce longer vines, need at least 4 feet between mounds, but 6 feet is better.
