Gray Zucchini is a classic heirloom-style summer squash known for its silvery-green skin with faint speckles and tender, creamy flesh. Its compact plants are heavy producers, offering abundant, uniform fruits that are perfect for grilling, sautéing, or baking. The mild, nutty flavor and smooth texture make it a favorite for both gardeners and cooks alike.

Planting Guide:

• Soil: Prefers rich, well-drained soil with plenty of organic matter.

• Sun: Full sun (at least 6–8 hours daily).

• Sowing: Direct sow after the danger of frost has passed, or start indoors 2–3 weeks early.

• Spacing: Plant seeds 1 inch deep, 2–3 seeds per hill, spaced 2–3 feet apart. Thin to the strongest plant per hill.

• Watering: Keep soil consistently moist but not soggy—deep watering encourages strong roots.

• Harvest: Pick when fruits are 6–8 inches long for the best flavor and texture. Regular harvesting encourages more production.
