Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil enriched with compost. Prepare the soil by loosening it to a depth of about 12 inches and removing any weeds or debris. Sow the seeds directly into the soil, planting them about 1-2 inches deep and spacing them 24 to 36 inches apart in rows. Keep the soil consistently moist, watering deeply but infrequently to encourage deep root growth. Apply a balanced fertilizer when planting and again once the plants begin to flower. Monitor for pests such as squash bugs and cucumber beetles, and take appropriate measures for pest control.
