Growing Green Hubbard Squash in Zone 3

Growing Green Hubbard Squash in Zone 3, particularly in western Canada, can be a rewarding experience with the right care and attention. Here are some tips to help you successfully cultivate Green Hubbard Squash in your garden:

• Planting Time: Start Green Hubbard Squash seeds indoors 3-4 weeks before the last expected frost date. Transplant seedlings outdoors after the danger of frost has passed, usually in late May to early June.
• Soil Preparation: Green Hubbard Squash prefers well-drained, fertile soil with a pH between 6.0 and 7.0. Amend your garden bed with compost to enrich the soil and improve drainage.
• Sunlight: Choose a location that receives full sun, as Green Hubbard Squash thrives in bright, sunny conditions.
• Spacing: Space Green Hubbard Squash seedlings about 4-6 feet apart to allow for proper air circulation and growth.
• Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water Green Hubbard Squash plants deeply and regularly, especially during dry periods.
• Maintenance: Mulch around the base of the plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Regularly check for pests and remove any weeds that may compete with your Green Hubbard Squash plants.

Harvesting Green Hubbard Squash

Green Hubbard Squash can be harvested once the fruits reach maturity, typically when the rind is hard and cannot be punctured with a fingernail. Cut the squash from the vine using a sharp knife, leaving a few inches of stem attached. Cure the squash in a warm, dry place for about 10 days before storing them in a cool, dry location.
