Zucchini (Part 2)
Zucchini demand accurate watering. Try to keep the water off the leaves and foliage. And the fruit will fall off before it matures, unless you provide sufficient watering. Leaves may wilt during very hot weather, but recover very quickly when watered.
In growing zucchini you may face some problems.
Powdery mildew and mosaic virus are the main problems in growing of this vegetable. To prevent the development of these diseases, the gardener should not handle the vines when they are wet, plant in an area with good ventilation, and keep the garden clean and free of weeds and debris. Most insects that attack zucchini can be controlled by spraying with a good herbal or natural insecticide.
Harvesting won’t take much time, but will please you.
Pick zucchini early and often. Note that fruit that is 4-6 inches long will have the best flavor, and picking encourages more fruit.
