Lektor F1 - Hybrid Summer Squash Seeds

Zucchini and squashes are tender plants which need heat to germinate, so are best sown indoors in mid- to late spring, right about when the last frost is expected. Sow single seeds 1 in (2 cm) deep into cells or small pots filled with potting mix, water well, label, and cover with a clear plastic bag or a lidded propagator and place on a warm windowsill.  

Direct outdoor sowing into soil improved with plenty of organic matter is possible in early summer. Place two seeds into one hole 2 in (5 cm) deep at stations 3 ft (90 cm) apart. Cover with soil, water, then protect under a cloche for additional heat.
