Zucchini is one of my favorite easy plants that you can grow this summer☀️#garden #zucchini #plants

Welcome back to Plants You Can't Kill, Episode 6, and this time we're talking about zucchini. Zucchini is a plant that loves the heat, so you want to start it after the threat of frost has passed. The good news is that this plant grows so easily from seed, and the seeds are super simple to plant. Just put 2 to 3 in the soil and cover them up. Keep them watered, and in less than a week, you'll have tiny plants. And by day 20, you should start to see your first flowers. The male flower comes first, and then the female flowers will have the shape of a gourd right behind them. These need to get pollinated, either by the bees or with a little bit of your help. Then it's time to make space for all that zucchini. I like to grow mine over this side of the bed or tie them to a trellis so that I can grow them vertically. By day 60, you should have your first zucchini, and you'll want to be sure you harvest them on time. Otherwise, your zucchini is going to turn into a huge baseball bat. By day 75, you'll have so much zucchini that you can start leaving it at all your neighbors' doorsteps. We're giving away zucchini seeds for free to help you get started, so be sure to get yours in the caption.
