Eight plants will provide more than enough for a large family. You can trellis squash to save space. Plants grow 2 ft tall and vines spread up to 10 ft.
Requires fertile slightly acidic soil in a well drained location in the garden. Apply mulch, grass clippings, or straw around the base of the plant. Add well composted manure.
