Squash

Squash grows best in warm weather and spacious garden plots with well-aerated, fertile soil. It benefits from full sun and regular watering, producing vigorous vines and large, broad leaves. Typically planted at the start of the dry season, it can thrive for several months until the fruits are ready for harvest. Squash is rich in fiber, vitamin A, and potassium—great for eye health and digestion. Its firm, yellow-orange flesh and subtly sweet flavor make it a favorite in soups, stews, and local dishes. A robust crop that rewards gardeners with heavy yields and culinary versatility.
