Growing Instructions

• When to Plant: Sow directly outdoors after the last frost, when soil has warmed. In short seasons, start indoors 3–4 weeks earlier in biodegradable pots.
• Soil: Rich, well-draining soil with plenty of compost worked in before planting.
• Sunlight: Full sun.
• Watering: Water deeply at the base; avoid wetting the leaves to reduce disease.
• Spacing: Sow 1 in deep. Space plants 24 in apart in rows 36 in apart.
• Germination: 7–10 days at 75–90°F (24–32°C).
• Harvest: Pick fruits at 6–8 in long, checking plants daily — zucchini grows fast. Cut with a knife or scissors; regular harvesting keeps the plant producing.
• Tips: Harvest small for the most tender texture. If new fruits shrivel instead of swelling, hand-pollinate by transferring pollen from a male flower to a female flower.
