SeedGeeks Tatume Summer Squash Seeds

No, this variety is not suitable for containers. Tatume has a vigorous vining habit that requires significant space, growing up to 72 inches, so it is best suited for direct planting in a garden bed or trellis.

You can expect to harvest your first Tatume squash approximately 55 days after planting. This makes it a relatively quick-maturing crop for your summer garden.

Yes, these are untreated, non-GMO, open-pollinated heirloom seeds. They are produced without chemical treatments, ensuring a pure and authentic growing experience.

Tatume squash is prized for its distinctively creamy, buttery flesh and round shape. Unlike standard zucchini, which can become watery or bland if left to grow too large, Tatume maintains a firm, pleasant texture even when harvested at a larger size.

While no plant is completely immune, Tatume is naturally resistant to common vine borers, which are a frequent problem for many other squash varieties. This resilience makes it a reliable choice for gardeners who have struggled with pest issues in the past.

Tatume squash thrives in full sun. For the best results and highest yields, ensure your planting location receives at least six to eight hours of direct sunlight daily.
