Growing tips:

If zucchini are grown early, they should never be pricked out; their roots are far too sensitive. Therefore, they should be sown individually in pots and later repotted or planted with the entire root ball intact. They do not tolerate frost and should only be planted outdoors after the Ice Saints. Initially, the plant produces only male flowers, which must remain on the plant. Only when temperatures are right and the plant is strong enough will it produce female flowers, which can be identified by the ovary.

Zucchini are heavy feeders and prefer nutrient-rich soil with plenty of compost and humus. They should also be fertilized with organic liquid fertilizer during the growth phase. For good fruit set, at least two young plants should always be planted, which should be protected from snails. Regular and generous watering is important. In humid summers, the plants are easily attacked by fungi. A preventative treatment with plant strengtheners can counteract this.

With regular harvesting, new fruits will continue to grow until autumn.
