Growing Tips:

  • Planting: Sow seeds directly into the garden after the danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed to at least 70°F. Plant seeds 1 inch deep, spacing them 24-36 inches apart in rows 3-4 feet apart.
  • Soil: Zucchini thrives in well-drained, fertile soil with a pH of 6.0-7.5. Incorporate compost or aged manure before planting to boost soil fertility.
  • Sunlight: Black Beauty Zucchini requires full sun, receiving at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal growth and fruit production.
  • Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water at the base of the plant to avoid wetting the foliage, which can lead to fungal diseases.
  • Fertilization: Apply a balanced, organic fertilizer every 3-4 weeks during the growing season to encourage continuous fruiting.

Harvesting Tips:

  • When to Harvest: Harvest zucchinis when they are 6-8 inches long for the best flavor and texture. Regular harvesting encourages more fruit production.
  • How to Harvest: Use a sharp knife or pruning shears to cut the fruit from the vine, leaving a short stem attached to the zucchini. Handle with care to avoid bruising the tender skin.

Culinary Uses:

  • Sautéing: Sauté sliced zucchini with garlic, olive oil, and herbs for a quick and healthy side dish.
  • Baking: Incorporate grated zucchini into bread, muffins, or cakes for added moisture and nutrition. Zucchini bread is a classic way to use up an abundant harvest.
  • Grilling: Slice zucchini lengthwise, brush with olive oil, and grill for a delicious, smoky flavor. Grilled zucchini is a great addition to salads, sandwiches, or as a side dish.
