Growing Organic Golden Zucchini Summer Squash in the Vegetable Garden
Sow seeds 1 inch deep after frost when soil is warm, or start indoors 3 to 4 weeks early in biodegradable pots to minimize root disturbance. Space plants 24 to 36 inches apart, with 36 to 48 inches between rows; mulch to conserve moisture and reduce weeds.
Water steadily through flowering and fruit set. Side-dress with compost or a balanced fertilizer as plants begin to bloom. Harvest frequently to encourage continued production; remove overgrown fruits to keep plants productive.
Harvesting of Organic Golden Zucchini Summer Squash
Pick when fruits are 6 to 8 inches long with glossy skins and a tender feel. Cut with pruners or a knife, leaving a short stem. For best storage, chill promptly and use within one week.
