Zone 5 growing for squash

Question

I would like to know about planting both Summer and Winter squash in my garden.
Can both start with seeds? Or can I direct-sow into my garden? How many weeks from the last frost date shall I begin the process to start from seed?
Also, what is the growing time/range and dates from harvest for the squash varieties?

Thank you,
Beginner Gardener

Answer 1

Both types can be planted between May and June; winter varieties can be planted into late summer and fall.
