Cuckoo for Cucurbits—All About Growing Squash, Cucumbers, and Melons

June 12 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm EDT

You may not know the generic term for these crops (“cucurbits”), but you’ve no doubt enjoyed eating and maybe even growing them. In this presentation you will learn all about how to grow for the best possible success.

Featuring information on:

  • “Summer” squash/zucchini 
  • “Winter” squash 
  • Pumpkins 
  • Cucumbers 
  • Melons 
  • As a bonus, gourds 

We’ll discuss types, growing needs, planting techniques, maintenance, harvesting, and managing pests and problems, all from a research-based and practical standpoint. Weather permitting, we’ll take a short walk to the lovely Demonstration Gardens at NH Audubon’s Massabesic Center, where we’ll see some techniques in practice. Appropriate footwear is helpful. 

Presenter:

Will Lowenthal

Cost:
$10 for NH Audubon members/Extension Master Gardeners
$15 for non-members

As the event nears, visit the UNH Extension website for more information and to sign up.

This program is brought to you through an ongoing partnership between the University of New Hampshire Extension’s Master Gardener Program and New Hampshire Audubon. “The Demonstration Gardens at NH Audubon’s Massabesic Center” provide a place for sharing best practices in eco-friendly home and community gardening, to benefit human health and well-being, and wildlife habitat.
