in bucket, in the ground

Sow in pots at a temperature of between 18 and 20°C, 2 to 3 weeks before planting. Transplant, with the root ball, into the ground, after the last frosts, at a distance of at least 2 m in all directions. For sowing directly into the ground, sow after the last frosts, once the soil has warmed up. In both cases, prepare holes filled with compost or organic matter two weeks in advance to accommodate your plants or seeds.

Seeds found on an archaeological site in Peru correspond genetically with the "Banana Squash" currently grown. Banana Squash was introduced to the United States by R.H. Shumway in 1893. The traditional variety had a blue-gray skin with orange stripes, becoming creamy-pink at maturity. Around 1900, the Los Angeles seed company Aggeler et Musser developed three lines: a yellow-orange variety, a blue-gray variety and a pink variety.
