Round Zucchini seed is a tasty and productive home garden variety for planting that can be picked in just 50 days! Use them as a steamed vegetable at 2.5" in diameter, or wait until they are 4" and use them for stuffed zucchini recipes! If you keep them harvested, it will keep on producing prolifically!

Sowing: Gardeners with short growing seasons may want to start their squash seeds indoors a month before the last expected frost. Since squashes do not take well to transplanting, peat pots are the best option. Plant two seeds per pot, later clipping off the weaker seedling. Harden the seedlings by exposing them to the weather for several hours at a time during the week before transplanting. About a week after the last frost or when the soil temperature reaches an average of 65 degrees F, plant the seedlings in very rich soil 8-10' apart in rows 10-12' apart. Another option is to plant the seedlings in hills of two, 8-10' apart. To direct sow, plant the seeds when the soil temperature reaches at least 70 degrees F. Plant them 1/2" deep, 3-4' apart and thin to 8-10' apart. For companion planting benefits, plant squashes along with corn but avoid planting them with potatoes.

Growing: Since squash seedlings do not tolerate frost, provide protective coverings if the temperature drops below 65 degrees F. Keep the soil moist at all times, but avoid getting the leaves wet as this can cause diseases such as rot or mildew. When the vines begin to develop, a layer of mulch will help conserve moisture and control weeds; mulch also will keep the squashes clean and protect them from too much soil contact.

Harvesting: This round variety of zucchini generally tastes best when harvested at a diameter of 2-3". When the plant begins to produce mature zucchini, they should be picked every day or two. These squashes keep well in the refrigerator for about two weeks and freeze well.
