Short Description: 
Yellow zucchini is a variety of summer squash with vibrant yellow skin and a tender, creamy flesh. It offers a mild, slightly sweet flavor and is a versatile ingredient in various culinary dishes, including sautés, salads, and grilled vegetable medleys.

How to Grow Yellow Zucchini from Seeds: 

1. Seed Selection:  Choose high-quality yellow zucchini seeds from THE AGRO MILL.

2. Timing:  Plant zucchini seeds directly outdoors after the danger of frost has passed and soil temperatures have warmed to at least 60°F (15°C). Yellow zucchini thrives in warm weather.

3. Preparing the Soil:  Select a sunny location with well-drained soil for planting. Work the soil to a depth of 12-18 inches and amend with organic matter, such as compost, to improve fertility and drainage.

4. Sowing Seeds:  Plant zucchini seeds 1 inch deep in hills or rows. If planting in hills, space hills 3-4 feet apart, with 2-3 seeds per hill. If planting in rows, space rows 3-4 feet apart and sow seeds 6-12 inches apart within the row.

5. Providing Optimal Conditions:  Yellow zucchini requires full sun and regular watering to thrive. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged throughout the growing season.

6. Thinning Seedlings:  Once seedlings emerge and develop their first true leaves, thin them to one strong seedling per hill or space seeds 24-36 inches apart in rows to allow for proper growth and airflow.

7. Mulching: Apply a layer of mulch around the zucchini plants to conserve soil moisture, suppress weeds, and maintain even soil temperature.

8. Fertization: Yellow zucchini is a heavy feeder. Fertilize regularly with a balanced fertilizer according to package instructions, typically every 4-6 weeks during the growing season.

9. Pest and Disease Management:  Monitor plants regularly for signs of pests and diseases, such as aphids, squash bugs, and powdery mildew. Control pests using organic methods or insecticidal soap, and treat diseases promptly to prevent spread.

10. Harvesting:  Harvest yellow zucchini when they are 6-8 inches long and the skin is tender. Use a sharp knife to cut the zucchini from the vine, taking care not to damage the plant.

By following these steps, you can grow delicious yellow zucchini from seeds in your garden and enjoy a bountiful harvest throughout the summer months.
