START SEEDS OUTDOORS

Zucchinisneeds full sun, rich fertile soil and warm temperatures. Plant only when spring weather is warm and settled and night temperatures stay above 50F (10C).Sow groups of 2 to 3 seeds, 1 in. deep 2 ft. apart. When seedlings have 4 leaves, thin to 1 strong seedling per group. Or, plant in slightly mounded hills, 2 ft. in diameter, sowing 4 or 5 seeds in each hill. Thin hill-planted seedlings to the 2 or 3 strongest plants.

GROWING NOTES

Amend soil well before sowing with lots of aged manure or compost. Protect young seedlings from marauding birds by covering with plastic berry baskets at planting time, removing when plants get crowded.Be sure to thin properly - you will have more productive, disease-free plants if seedlings have enough room to mature.
