You don’t need a large garden to grow zucchini. You can also grow zucchini in pots that are at least 24 inches (60 cm) in diameter and at least 12 inches (30 cm) deep. If you don’t have a lot of space in your garden, growing zucchini in pots or planters can save space. Just be sure to use a well-draining pot and a light potting soil that contains ingredients such as peat moss, compost, or fine bark.
If you are growing zucchini organically, simply mix compost or well-rotted manure into the soil before planting to provide the plants with plenty of nutrients. If you are not growing organically, the best fertilizer is a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer. When irrigating, apply fertilizer every four weeks during the summer months.
Plant two to three zucchini seeds about an inch deep in the center of the pot, leaving a few inches between each seed. Keep the soil slightly moist, but not soggy, for the first week or two until the seeds germinate. After two weeks, remove all but the strongest plants. Once the seeds have germinated, reduce watering, waiting for the top 5 inches of soil to dry out completely between waterings. Zucchini need a steady supply of water to thrive, but too much water can cause problems with rot and yellowing leaves.
Provide at least six hours of sunlight per day, the more sunlight the better. Zucchini plants should be fully exposed to sunlight for at least six to eight hours per day.
You will find that if you follow these simple tips, you will have an abundant and successful zucchini harvest all summer long!
