  • Growing and Care Tips

    Sowing and Planting

  • Pre-Sowing Indoors: To harvest earlier, sow seeds indoors in late April or early May. Transplant seedlings outdoors after the risk of frost has passed.
  • Direct Sowing Outdoors: Sow seeds in the second half of May or early June when soil temperatures reach at least +10 °C.
  • Sowing Depth: Plant seeds 2–3 cm deep.
  • Spacing: Leave 60–80 cm between plants and 1–1.2 m between rows to allow ample room for growth.

  • Care Requirements

  • Watering: Zucchini loves moisture but dislikes waterlogging. Water regularly and deeply, avoiding splashing the leaves to reduce disease risk.
  • Fertilizing: Use organic fertilizer or compost. During flowering, apply a potassium-rich fertilizer to support fruit development.
  • Mulching: Mulch helps retain soil moisture and prevents weeds.
  • Support: For larger fruits, consider providing support to keep them off the ground.

  • Harvesting

  • Harvest fruits when they are 15–20 cm long for the best flavor and tenderness.
  • Regular picking encourages continuous fruit production.

  • Pests and Diseases

  • Common Issues: Powdery mildew, aphids, slugs.
  • Prevention: Ensure good air circulation, avoid overwatering, and remove any damaged leaves.
