The trick with zucchini is frequent harvesting, every couple of days, while the squash are small and immature.
Lastly, most gardeners are successful in growing a summer squash called zucchini. With the popularity of zucchini noodles and zucchini breads, this is a great vegetable for novice gardeners.  Zucchini can be green or yellow and it is grown from seed.  Three or four seeds are sown together in “hills” directly in the garden from mid-May to early July.  Hills are spaced 3-4 feet apart within rows. Home gardeners generally plant one or two extra hills as one might succumb to insect or disease before harvest. The trick with zucchini is frequent harvesting, every couple of days, while the squash are small and immature.  It is amazing how quickly the zucchini can become too large and seedy. One or two zucchini plants can be incredibly productive which is why so many gardeners have zucchini to give to friends and neighbors by late summer.
