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.
The butternut squash growing season is about 110-120 days for fruit maturation, so if your season is short, itâs best to start your seeds indoors to give them a head start. To grow butternut squash indoors, youâll need to start about six weeks before the last frost in your area.he butternut squash growing season begins when all danger of frost is past and the soil is well warmed by the sun, about 60 to 65 F. (15-18 C.) at a four inch depth. Butternut squash plants are extremely tender and the seedlings will freeze with the slightest frost and seeds will only germinate in warm soil.
