How To Grow Sweet Dumpling Squash From Seed: Sweet Dumpling squash is best started indoors. Using small pots, sow 1 seed in each pot. After the seedlings have established, and developed their third set of leaves, they are ready to be transplanted to their final spot in the garden.

Make sure all risk of frost has passed before transplanting to the garden. Give each plant 75cm of space.

Harvest when the skin hardens and turns a creamy yellow, usually in late summer or Autumn. The squashes should store for several months if kept in a cool, dry place.
