Zucchini Golden

Sow September  to  January – contains 20 seeds

The Golden Zucchini is an heirloom, open pollinated bush type of Zucchini, very similar to Gold Rush. The Zucchinis are a brilliant yellow colour, and are best picked when small, about 15 to 20 cm in length, and should be picked every 2 to 3 days. They grow very similar to the green Zucchini, but some people claim it has a better flavour.

Choose a site in an open, warm and sunny position, and prepare the soil by digging compost and well rotted animal manure into a 1 metre square to form a hill or hills 1m apart. Sow 2-3 seeds into each hill.

Apply plenty of water during the growing season by trickly irrigation rather than over the head watering because watering the leaves tends to encourage the onset of powdery mildew, particularly during the end of the growing season.
