49. You May Still Have Time For A Fall Crop Of Yellow Squash And Zuchinni Depending On Where You Are

Wed Jul 9, 2025, 03:35 PM

Jul 9

I'm in North Louisiana.

In this part of the year I typically plant them so they get a little shade during the hottest part of the day.

Sometimes that involves putting up a shade sail.
It really only takes a few productive plants to get a nice ongoing crop in our climate and soil.

They're fun to grow!
