Planting and Growing Instructions:
• Days to Maturity: 80–100 days from planting to harvest.
• Planting Depth: Sow seeds 1 inch deep in well-draining soil.
• Plant Spacing: Space plants 18–24 inches apart in rows 36–48 inches apart. Allow plenty of room for vines to spread.
• Days to Germination: Seeds germinate in 7–10 days with soil temperatures between 70–90°F.
• Starting Seeds: For best results, direct sow outdoors after the last frost when soil temperatures reach at least 70°F. In shorter growing seasons, start seeds indoors 2–4 weeks before the last frost date in biodegradable pots to minimize transplant shock.
• Sunlight Requirements: Delicata squash thrives in full sun, requiring 6–8 hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal growth and productivity.
• Soil Requirements: Grow in nutrient-rich, well-drained soil with a pH between 6.0 and 6.8. Add compost or aged manure to boost fertility.

Tips for a Successful Harvest:
