Plant description

The zucchini is a summer squash which can reach nearly a meter in length, but which is usually harvested at half that size or less. Zucchini can be dark or light green. A related hybrid, the golden zucchini, is a deep yellow or orange color. In a culinary context, the zucchini is treated as a vegetable, which means it is usually cooked and presented as a savory dish or accompaniment. Botanically, however, the zucchini is an immature fruit, being the swollen ovary of the zucchini flower.

Zucchini prefers well-drained, fertile, loose soil which is rich in organic matter. The soil needs to be moist for the zucchini seeds to develop into seedlings. Zucchini like warm soil and are very sensitive to frost. So make sure that there is no danger of frost and the soil temperature is about 70 F. Sow the seed 1/2 to 1 inch deep into the hills. Sow 4 to 5 seeds per hill and make sure the hills are 3 to 4 feet apart.
