Sow ‘Trombetta di Albenga’ Heirloom Climbing Summer Squash after the soil has warmed and frost danger has passed, or transplant established seedlings without disturbing their roots more than necessary. Preserve the recorded spacing because broad leaves and vines can occupy more room than young plants suggest. Check soil moisture at root depth and direct water toward the soil. Once fruit develops, inspect plants frequently and harvest at the stage appropriate to summer or winter squash. Use clean cuts to avoid damaging stems.

Before sowing ‘Trombetta di Albenga’ Heirloom Climbing Summer Squash, review the packet alongside the current product details and note any range in temperature, germination, or maturity.
