Zucchini 'Golden Dawn'

Position in a full sun location and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Golden Dawn 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 Dawn as it does best in weakly acidic soil - weakly alkaline soil.

Sow 0.99 inches (2.54 cm) deep with a guideline distance of 2.92 feet (90.0 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 16°C / 61°F to ensure good germination.

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

As Golden Dawn 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 Dawn about 14 days after your last frost date.

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