Find out what variety of summer squash grows well in your area. Three common summer squashes include zucchini (green), patty pan (round), and crookneck (yellow) squash. These hills will help provide the soil and nutrients for our summer squash to grow. Cover each summer squash seed with an organic mulch to help maintain soil moisture. This will help your summer squash grow well and allow the vines to spread. If you’re planting on a hill, space your summer squash rows farther apart to encourage healthy plant growth. Summer squash only keeps for about 3 days in the refrigerator. To freeze, slice your summer squash immediately after picking and place it in the freezer.
