Experienced gardeners are preparing to plant zucchini in April.

Almost every owner of his own garden grows zucchini, because it is difficult to imagine a summer menu without them.

Some summer residents try not only to plant this crop, but also to get the earliest harvest. Simple tricks help them with this.

Work begins in April, when the soil and seeds are prepared. With the help of the seedling method, summer residents harvest zucchini much earlier.

Seeds are sown in pots in April – from about the 10th. If the weather forecast promises a few more weeks of cold weather, then sowing can be postponed.

Zucchini are heat-loving plants. Frosts can easily destroy them, so it is better to sow them after May 25. If the soil has warmed up well, then you can do this after May 10. But in this case, it is worth providing shelter for the night.

After transplanting the seedlings into open ground, the first feeding is carried out after 15-20 days. For this, compost or mullein is used.
