Squash Plants

The plants arrived very well packaged. I was concerned about how they would ship, but GrowJoy seems to have this down to a science. I planted them as soon as they arrived and within 2 weeks, the flowers started blooming. I'm already starting to see squash grow from these plants. I'm very satisfied and a little pleasantly surprised at the success of these. I will order from GrowJoy again. I have trouble with Squash vine borers, so ordering these for early August works great for me. I can't get squash from my local suppliers in August so GrowJoy is a great option for that time of year. I get Squash through Fall now.
