Hur pollinerar man squash?
Har man squash i växthus kan det bli problem med den naturliga pollineringen, ifall det inte finns tillräckligt med insekter. Då kan man flytta pollen från hanblommorna till honblommans pistill eller helt enkelt stoppa in hanblomman (med avklippta kronblad) i honblommans gap för att befrukta blomman.
Hur sköter man squash?
För att få en bra start är det bäst att förodla plantorna inomhus. Det tar 4-6 veckor för fröplantorna att bli lagom stora för att planteras ut. Squash är frostkänslig och vill helst ha kring 12 grader i jorden när den planteras. Sådden bör därför göras någon gång i april-maj beroende av var i landet man bor.
