Zucchini are warm-weather plants that thrive in full sun and rich, deep, well-drained soil with an ideal pH of 5.5 to 6.5. Work compost into the soil before planting to promote optimal growth.
Sow directly outdoors from late May to mid-June, placing seeds 1″ (2.5 cm) deep in mounds 8′ (2.4 m) apart. Plant 4 to 6 seeds per mound, then reduce to 3 plants per mound after germination. For an early start, sow seeds indoors about 3 weeks before the expected last frost date.
Ensure regular watering and protect young plants from pests. Harvest fruits when they reach 6 to 8 inches in size for optimum flavor.
