Summer Squash

Squash comes in a summer and winter variety.  Since we are focusing more on the summer plants  I am going to blog on the summer variety. Summer squash grows in a bush like plant. These plants like full sun, fertile soil, and sufficient moisture. This plant needs compost to thrive. They can grow quickly especially in hot weather. So squash needs to be checked everyday; picking these veggies encourage more growth. The summer variety should be picked before they have fully ripened.
