🌿 Growing Tips

  • Planting: Direct sow outdoors after the danger of frost has passed and soil has warmed to at least 65°F. For earlier harvests, start seeds indoors 2–3 weeks before transplanting.

  • Spacing: Sow seeds 1 inch deep, 24–36 inches apart in rows or mounds. Give plants room to spread for maximum airflow and productivity.

  • Sun & Soil: Prefers full sun (6–8+ hours daily) and rich, well-drained soil enriched with compost.

  • Watering: Keep soil evenly moist, especially during flowering and fruiting. Avoid wetting foliage to reduce risk of powdery mildew.

  • Harvesting: Pick zucchini when 6–8 inches long for the best flavor and texture. Smaller fruits are tender and excellent for grilling, roasting, and sautéing. Larger fruits can be stuffed, baked, or used in zucchini bread.

  • Tip: Frequent harvesting encourages the plant to keep producing vigorously all season long.
