Zucchini 'Golden'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Golden is thought of as tender, so remember to wait until your soil is warm and the night time temperature is well above freezing before moving outside. A soil ph of between 5.6 and 7.5 is ideal for Golden as it does best in weakly acidic soil - weakly alkaline soil.

Try to aim for a seed spacing of at least 2.92 feet (90.0 cm) and sow at a depth of around 0.99 inches (2.54 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 15°C / 59°F to ensure good germination.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Golden about 42 days before your last frost date.

As Golden is tender, ensure temperatures are mild enough to plant out - wait until after your last frost date to be on the safe side.

By our calculations, you should look at planting out Golden about 14 days after your last frost date.

This variety tends to be ready for harvesting by early summer.
