Zucchini 'Round'

A full sun position will ensure your plant thrives and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Round is thought of as tender, so remember to ensure that temperatures are mild before moving outdoors. A soil ph of between 5.6 and 7.5 is ideal for Round as it does best in weakly acidic soil - weakly alkaline soil.

Aim to sow 0.99 inches (2.54 cm) deep and try to ensure a gap of at least 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 Round about 42 days before your last frost date.

As Round 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 Round about 14 days after your last frost date.

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