Squash Yellow Button brings both charm and productivity to your garden. This compact bush variety is a prolific producer of bright, scallop-edged yellow fruits that catch the eye and spark curiosity. The plant stays tidy and manageable, making it perfect for small-space gardeners or anyone working with large pots or raised beds. Its quick-growing nature means you won’t wait long before seeing those cheerful little buttons forming.
For the best harvest, pick them when they’re still small, around 5 to 8 cm wide. At this size, the texture is more tender, and the flavour is at its sweetest. Regular picking not only improves quality but also encourages the plant to keep producing. With the right sunny spot and moderate watering, Yellow Button squash will reward you with a generous crop throughout the warm season.
Whether you’re growing them for their vibrant colour, compact habit, or simply their sweet, nutty taste, these little fruits are a joy to grow and cook with. They bring sunshine to both the garden and the plate.
