Zucchini 'Genovese'

Plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Genovese is thought of as tender, so it is imperative to wait until temperatures are mild before planting out of doors. Genovese requires a soil ph of 5.6 - 7.5 meaning it does best in weakly acidic soil - weakly alkaline soil.

Ensure a distance of 2.92 feet (90.0 cm) between seeds when sowing - look to sow at a depth of approximately 0.99 inches (2.54 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 16°C / 61°F to ensure good germination.

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

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Genovese is a tender plant.

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

Expect harvests to start to occur in early summer.
