Grey Zucchini Seeds - Heirloom Non-GMO Summer Squash | High-Yield Garden Vegetable | Fast-Growing & DeliciousCucurbita pepoListing is for 1 packet of minimum 15 seedsCheck out my v ideo tutorial on how to grow squash from seed to harvest: https://youtu.be/t-M1TY9np04 This gray zucchini squash is absolutely delicious and heat resistant. It produces a high yield, and the flesh is firm, mild, and incredibly tasty. It has a unique grey-green speckled skin color that is very unique. Harvest when the squash are 6-8 inches for the best flavor and texture. Ideal Growing Conditions Sun: Full sun Water: Let the soil dry out a little bit in-between watering Fertilizer: Consistent applications of fertilizer is important to promote lots of new, healthy, green growth to outpace the diseases and pests. Amend the soil with some organic granular fertilizer like Espoma Garden-Tone before direct sowing the seeds. Or sprinkle some into the planting hole if using transplants. Apply 1/4 cup of this fertilizer every 10-14 days to keep the nutrient supply consistent. I don't recommend using a synthetic fertilizer when fertilizing this frequently. When & How To Sow Seeds: Direct sowing is preferred after your last spring frost date. In warmer climates can also direct sow at end of summer for a fall harvest. Sow 2-3 seeds in a mound, 1/2 inch deep, spaced 2FT apart, in rows spaced 3FT apart. Can also sow seeds indoors in 4 inch pots, filled with seed starting mix, 6-8 weeks before your last spring frost date to get an early start. Germination: 5-10 days Days To Maturity: 70 days after direct sowing the seed How & When To Harvest: Harvest when the squash are 6-8 inches for the best flavor and texture. Cut the squash off the vine with scissors, leaving a 2-3 inch piece of stem at the top (helps it store longer). Common Diseases: Squash get a lot of leaf diseases caused by pathogens like molds, fungus spores, bacteria etc.... It is very common, so dont worry. Spray with 1 cup of 3% hydrogen peroxide per gallon of water to clean and disinfect. Repeat every 5 days or so as a preventative, or until you notice the spread of the disease has stopped. Common Pests: Critters like rabbits love to munch on newly germinated seedlings, so protection from small animals might be required. If you notice the leaves are chewed up and there are small black, green, or orange balls, worms/caterpillars are chewing up the plants. Spray with bacillus thuringiensis (BT) or spinosad to treat for the worms. Do I have a YouTube video tutorial on how to grow this?
