Written by bstanley on July 09, 2009 in vegetable garden
Growing squash is possible and easy at any time of the year. However, growing zucchini (which is one of the fast growing summer squash vegetables) requires vegetable planting following a few specifications.
Zucchini Squash Growing In Summer
Summer is a good time for planting zucchini as zucchini squash grows best in warm soil. When the soil temperature reaches 60°F (or 16°C) the seeds should be sown. This vegetable planting requires full sunlight and an airy environment. A second round of planting squash in mid-summer will ensure a stock lasting till fall. The plants are harvested within 45-60 days while they are still immature and tender.
