Frequently Asked Questions
Can Squash, Cucumbers & Gourds grow across different US climates?
Yes. These crops are widely grown as warm-season vegetables throughout the United States. Plant after frost danger has passed and soil conditions have warmed sufficiently for the selected variety.
Do Squash, Cucumber & Gourd vines need trellises?
Not always. Bush squash can grow without support, while many cucumbers and smaller-fruited gourds benefit from sturdy trellises. Large, heavy-fruited varieties may be better suited to ground-level growth.
When should these crops be harvested?
Cucumbers and summer squash are generally harvested while relatively young and tender. Winter squash and many gourds remain on the vine longer to reach appropriate maturity.
Do these plants need pollinators to produce fruits?
Many traditional varieties produce separate male and female flowers and rely on pollination for successful fruit development. Bees and other pollinating insects can therefore play an important role in the garden.
