Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil enriched with compost. Prepare the soil by loosening it to a depth of about 6 inches and removing any weeds or debris. Plant seeds directly into the soil once the danger of frost has passed, sowing them about 1 inch deep and spacing them 18 to 24 inches apart in rows. Keep the soil consistently moist, watering deeply but infrequently to encourage deep root growth. Harvest the squash when they are small to medium-sized for the best flavor and texture, and continue to harvest regularly to encourage continuous production throughout the summer.
