Plant & Growing Tips
Zucchini
- Sow seeds directly outdoors after all danger of frost has passed and soil has warmed, or start indoors 3-4 weeks prior.
- Provide plenty of space (2-3 feet apart) and full sun for vigorous growth.
- Water deeply and consistently, especially during flowering and fruiting, to prevent blossom end rot.
Natural Pest Control
- Squash Bugs: Hand-pick adult squash bugs and destroy their copper-colored egg clusters found on the undersides of leaves.
- Cucumber Beetles: Use floating row covers over young zucchini plants to protect them from cucumber beetles until flowering begins.
- Powdery Mildew: Ensure good air circulation and water at the base of the plant to minimize humidity and prevent powdery mildew.
Harvest
Zucchini
- Harvest when fruits are 6-8 inches long and firm, before they become too large and seedy.
- Check plants daily as zucchini grow very quickly, especially in warm weather, to avoid oversized fruits.
