Growing Information

How to Sow

Sow your seeds directly where they are to grow after frosts as the soil begins to warm or start them in pots indoors for an earlier crop.

How to Harvest

Although you can let them get really big, zucchinis are at their best when they're 10-15cm long - and you'll get more fruits if you pick them then. Cut the stems above the fruit if you want them to last for a while.
