Planting Instructions

Direct Sowing (Preferred Method)

• Sow seeds outdoors after the last frost when soil temperature reaches at least 65°F (18°C).
• Plant seeds 1 inch deep, spaced 24-36 inches apart in rows 3-4 feet apart.
• Keep soil evenly moist during germination (5-10 days).

Indoor Sowing (For Early Start)

• Start seeds indoors 3-4 weeks before the last frost in biodegradable pots.
• Transplant when seedlings have at least two true leaves and nighttime temperatures stay above 55°F (13°C).

Care & Maintenance

• Watering: Keep soil consistently moist, watering deeply at the base of the plant.
• Fertilization: Apply a balanced fertilizer every 3-4 weeks to support continuous fruiting.
• Mulching: Use mulch to retain moisture, suppress weeds, and protect shallow roots.
• Support: Although a bush variety, staking may help support heavy fruit production.

Harvesting

• Pick zucchini when they are 6-8 inches long for peak flavor and tenderness.
• Regular harvesting encourages more fruit production.
• Use pruning shears or a sharp knife to cut fruits from the plant.

Pest & Disease Control

• Common Pests: Squash bugs, vine borers, and aphids—use row covers, neem oil, or handpick pests.
• Common Diseases: Powdery mildew and blossom-end rot—ensure good air circulation and avoid overhead watering.
