Summer squash varieties, including zucchini and yellow squash, flower earlier than the winter squash varieties. Most summer squashes begin blooming within 35 to 45 days of germination. Winter squashes, which include butternut, acorn and spaghetti squash, may take up to 55 days before they set their first blossoms. Poor growth from overcrowding, dry soil or fungal diseases may delay flowering.
Since zucchini seeds will come to maturity quickly â about 45-55 days â even August is plenty of time to plant for an early fall harvest. In fact, many experts recommend waiting until mid-July to plant so that you can avoid infestation of a specific type of squash bug.
