Squash

Squash spans a remarkable range of varieties in a Growing Dome, from quick summer types like zucchini and yellow crookneck to long-season winter squashes like butternut, kabocha, and acorn. The dome's heat retention supports excellent squash production, with creative trellising helping manage the sprawl. From summer harvests to winter storage squash, dome owners are growing this versatile family in ways that supply kitchens through the seasons. Explore variety selection across summer and winter types, trellising sprawling vines, pollinator considerations, powdery mildew management, harvest and storage, and recipes from zucchini bread to roasted winter squash.
