Planting and Growing Instructions

Cocozelle zucchini is simple to grow and produces a high yield with minimal effort. Here’s how to grow this delicious summer squash in your garden:

1. Soil Preparation
   Zucchini prefers well-drained, nutrient-rich soil. Mix in organic compost or manure to improve fertility and moisture retention. Aim for a slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0-7.0) for optimal growth.

2. Planting
   Sow seeds 1 inch deep, spacing them about 18-24 inches apart to allow for proper airflow and growth. If you are growing in containers, make sure the container is large enough to support the plant's growth. Zucchini thrives in full sun, so select a location that receives 6-8 hours of sunlight per day.

3. Watering
   Keep the soil moist, but avoid over-watering, as this can lead to root rot. Water the plants regularly, especially during dry spells, to maintain consistent moisture. Be sure to water at the base to avoid wetting the leaves.

4. Pruning and Care
   As the plants grow, it may be helpful to remove any dead leaves or weeds around the base to prevent competition for nutrients. Prune the plants if necessary to maintain air circulation and prevent disease.

5. Harvesting
   Zucchini is typically ready to harvest 50-55 days after planting. Harvest the young zucchinis when they are about 6-8 inches long for the best flavor and texture. If left too long, zucchinis can become overripe and develop tough skin and seeds.
