Long, cylindrical vegetable, slightly smaller at the
stem end, usually dark green in color. The flesh is a
pale greenish-white and has a delicate, almost
sweet flavor. Zucchini fruit grows quickly and is
harvested within 2 to 7 days of flowering.
1 to 2 inches of water whenever the top of the soil
feels dry. When the weather is cooler in early
spring, water your zucchini about once a week,
increasing to two or even three times per week
once with air temperature increases.
Requires bright direct light.
Requires fertile, well-draining soil. Performs best in
soils that are high in organic matter with a soil pH
around 6.5.
