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.

    Love this variety! It produced lots of beautiful zucchini and didn't have many problems from bugs until the end of the season. 2023 Squash MVP for my garden.

    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!
