Round Zucchini Squash Seed, NON GMO - Heirloom, FUN FAVORITE IN KITCHEN & GARDEN

Description: Round Zucchini Squash Seed | NON GMO - Heirloom Always Fresh Seeds for Your Garden A FUN FAVORITE IN KITCHEN & GARDEN'Round' zucchini are bush-type plants with speckled, green leaves. The fast growing, mild flavored fruit are best used when they reach about three to four inches in diameter, which occurs about seven days after flowering. Keep fruit picked for a continuous harvest throughout the growing season."Round Zucchini" is kind of an oxymoron. That is, zucchini is a category of summer squash defined by a long, evenly cylindrical fruit shape. Since this summer squash is used like a zucchini, tastes like a zucchini, and looks like a zucchini (except for its shape), it has always been marketed as zucchini. As with any summer squash, you can harvest Round Zucchini Squash at just about any size; we begin harvesting fruit when they reach about the size of a baseball. They are preferred at this young and tender stage when they are excellent lightly steamed, sautéed, or stir-fried. During the "high season" of summer, unless you are checking your plants daily, the fruit size can get away from you very quickly! Medium sized to large fruit can still be cooked in the same way as previously noted, since harvest occurs during "barbecue season," we like to quarter the scalloped squash, and with the skin left on, coat them in olive oil, season to taste, and then grill them until tender but firm. Often our seasoning is simply fresh ground black pepper and salt, but experiment with herbs for fun flavor variations. Pick summer squash early and often, every 2-3 days at least if not daily. Not picking will stop the production of the plants. The squash are ready to harvest just after blossom falls from fruit and fruit can be easily dented with a thumbnail.Planting: Direct seeding is the easiest and most successful method of planting. Sow in late spring when soil is at least 70°F and danger of frost has passed. In a sunny location, sow a few seeds spaced evenly over a hill 9 to 12 inches tall and 2 feet across. When the plants are 3 inches tall, thin by cutting all but the 3 strongest seedlings per hill. To avoid weeding, mulch heavily around plants and in the rows.
