BUTTA ZUCCHINI / SUMMER SQUASH (F1 HYBRID 45 DAYS)

Germ 7-10 days
Just what the name implies, this zucchini has “butta” yellow skin and a smooth, creamy texture. When picked around 6”, this is by far one of the best yellow zucchini we have tasted. High yields from an open growth plant makes for easy harvest while producing an abundance of uniform fruit. 20 seeds

PLANTING:

Indoors- Plant in individual biodegradable peat/cowpots 1/2”-1” deep, 3-4 weeks before last frost with soil temperature 70 degrees. Transplant 36” apart after last frost without disturbing the roots

Outdoors- 1/2”-1” deep after last frost, in warm soil at least 70 degrees. Sow a few seeds per space/hill with 24-36”.

Harvest- Check and harvest a few times a week. Cut or kindly twist off fruit, starting at a 3-4”.

Tips- Plant in fertile soil amended with compost or well rotted manure and keep well watered. They benefit from growing on black plastic and by using row covers for weed, insect control, and more rapid growth. Fertilize on a regular basis by watering with compost tea. Sow every few weeks for a continuous supply.
