Growing Info
Harvesting: Harvest frequently to increase yield; squash seem to get monstrous overnight. While edible at almost any size, seeds are less developed in young fruit, therefore more tender. Using a knife or clippers, cut squash off including some of the stem. By including stem, the fruit is sealed and less likely to mold or dry out. Harvesting Blossoms: Look for male, non-fruit producing flowers that have long stems and harvest just before use (female flowers have a swollen mini-squash at the base of the flower and are on shorter stems).

These things are so prolific!
I keep em watered, prune the oldest leaves to prevent disease, tie them to stakes, and they just keep blooming and putting on fruit. I planted six, one was damaged by animals, but the others keep going.
When I pick them softball-sized, they're soft and easy to cook in a skillet. Slightly larger, and I slice them into discs and grill them with herbs to put them on my burgers. Larger than that, and I cut em in half vertically, scoop out the seeds, and fill them with Italian sausage, quinoa, herbs, tomato, and cheese. Bake. Heaven.

I harvested my first 4 round zucc today! i am new to growing zucchini and yes, i bought these b/c of the shape :) perfect for stuffing or just frying up in some EVOO. I check daily for little yellow ones that are rotting and just throw them out. I live in zone 6a and barely had any leaf eater problems etc. Originally i planted 3 per mound. only one came up. i waited another week and planted more and those came right up. I need to restrain myself and actually plant the first week of June. I couldn't wait to get out so i planted around may 26th. pretty close to our frost date end. we had a super cold spring so i am sure that was part of the problem. Wish we could post pictures as i would love to share my photos! Highly recommend!
