Although the seedling season is in full swing now, the time is just around the corner when it will be time to harvest and store the crops.

For this reason, it is worth stocking up on knowledge in advance that will help you keep zucchini fresh and tasty for as long as possible.

All you need to do is follow the simple recommendations below.

1. It is worth harvesting zucchini before the first frosts fall on the ground.

2. For storage, it is worth selecting fruits with thin skin and stalks - they will be stored longer.

3. You also need to cut the zucchini correctly – leaving the stem, which is at least 5 cm long.

4. After the harvest is collected, clean the vegetables from the soil. But there is no need to wash them - just let them dry for one day.

5. When storing zucchini, try to make sure that they do not touch each other. Otherwise, if one of the vegetables starts to rot, the vegetables lying nearby will also spoil.
