• Grow squash in small spaces: If you don’t have access to much room for planting your own garden, try growing your own seedlings indoors instead! They will eventually need their own space outside once they’ve outgrown their pots, but until then they’re sure to thrive on any windowsill or table that receives plenty of sunlight throughout the day (and plenty of water).
• Grow squash from seeds: Growing from seeds gives you control over how many varieties of squash you want to grow—and also lets you create unique hybridizations! With just some soil and some patience (it takes about 90 days), anyone can enjoy homegrown melons without needing any green thumb skillz whatsoever.*
