Plant in rich, well-drained soil that receives full sun. Give plants plenty of room to grow and spread their sprawling vines. Water the soil frequently to maintain an even moisture level, and mulch to keep moisture in the soil and keep weeds out. Harvest the squash in late autumn, once the skin has hardened and it has reached its full colour.Â
