SQUASH, BLACK BEAUTY (ZUCCHINI)

An All-American Selection! A zucchini squash that is delicious when sliced and served fresh, fried, steamed or simmered. Dark green fruits with creamy white flesh are best when 6 to 8 inches long. High in vitamin A.

After all danger of frost, in a sunny location, sow 5 seeds spaced evenly over a hill 9 to 12 inches tall and 2 feet across. When plants are 3 inches tall, thin by cutting to the 3 strongest seedlings per hill. To avoid weeding, mulch heavily around plants and in the rows.

Pick summer squash early and often. Not picking will stop production of plants. Ready to harvest just after blossom falls from fruit and fruit can be easily dented with thumbnail.
