Zucchini - Vegetable gardening at home



  • Zucchini plants can be grown from young plants or seeds

  • When starting with seeds, they should be sown directly in the garden

  • When the soil has warmed up in your planting beds, plant seeds one-half inch deep, 3 to 4 inches apart, in rows that are 2 to 3 feet apart.

  • Thin plants so that they are spaced 6 to 8 inches apart once they are 4 to 5 inches tall.

  • Once seedlings are a few inches tall, trim two off at the soil line, leaving only the strongest looking plant to grow.
