Notes
'Fordhook Zucchini' squash (Cucurbita 'Fordhook Zucchini') is a vegetable for the food garden. It is typically grown as an annual. It cannot take cold, and a freeze will end its season. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, loamy soil. It blooms from early to late summer, and the flowers lead to the fruit you pick for the table.
Pairs well with Dark Opal basil, Carmen pepper, and Lemon cucumber.
