The Lebanese, White Squash is a favorite amongst many home gardeners. Most would recommend planting 2-4 bushes to feed a family throughout the season, while for smaller families or couples, 2 plants would be plenty. It really depends on how much squash you love to eat and whether or not you're growing other varieties at the same time. We do however recommend planting at least two plants for better pollination. The better the pollination, the better the fruit count! It's been reported that some gardeners have experienced up to 15 fruits per plant, however, that is on the high side. Most plants will produce 4-6 fruit, again depending on the pollination and other variables that come into play. There's just not an exact answer for this. You're almost at the mercy of mother nature on this, but most would agree it's a great producer! They're better picked when young and tender unless you're planning on stuffing them, then baking. In that case, they are let to grow larger, again, which will keep the plant from producing more fruit if you don't harvest regularly from them. So the bottom line is, if you want more fruit, harvest more regularly and when the squash is young and tender. This will send signals to the plant to bloom and flower again to keep reproducing. Generally, this plant will get 2-3 feet high, but regular fertilizing would, of course, alter these numbers as well. If your soil is in good condition with lots of healthy organic matter, you should have no problem getting plants that reach this size. May we suggest growing on black plastic for weed & insect control?

The Evening Sun Sunflower (Helianthus annuus) is a striking annual plant that can enhance any garden with its vibrant colors and unique characteristics. This variety is particularly noted for its multi-colored blooms, which can range from deep red to golden yellow, creating a stunning visual display. The plant typically grows to a height of 5 to 7 feet, making it a prominent feature in garden landscapes.
One of the key benefits of the Evening Sun Sunflower is its ability to attract pollinators. Studies have shown that sunflowers are highly effective at drawing in bees and butterflies, which are essential for the pollination of many garden plants. In fact, a single sunflower can attract up to 20 different species of pollinators, thereby enhancing the biodiversity of the garden ecosystem.
In terms of cultivation, the Evening Sun Sunflower thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. It is recommended to plant seeds after the last frost date, as sunflowers are sensitive to cold temperatures. The seeds should be spaced approximately 12 to 18 inches apart to allow for adequate growth and airflow. Once established, these sunflowers require minimal maintenance, making them an excellent choice for both novice and experienced gardeners.
Furthermore, the Evening Sun Sunflower is known for its resilience. It can tolerate drought conditions once established, which is particularly beneficial in regions with variable rainfall. Research indicates that sunflowers can survive with as little as 1 inch of water per week, making them a sustainable choice for water-conscious gardeners.
In addition to their aesthetic appeal, Evening Sun Sunflowers also have practical uses. The seeds produced by these plants are edible and can be harvested for consumption. They are rich in nutrients, including vitamin E, magnesium, and selenium, contributing to a healthy diet. Moreover, sunflower oil, extracted from the seeds, is widely used in cooking and food production.
Overall, the Evening Sun Sunflower is an excellent addition to any garden. Its vibrant blooms, ability to attract pollinators, and minimal maintenance requirements make it a favored choice among gardeners. By incorporating this plant into your garden, you not only enhance its beauty but also contribute to a healthier ecosystem.
