Indoor starting is possible about 3 to 4 weeks before planting in individual pots that limit root disturbance. Grow in full sun and fertile, warm, well-drained soil. Space bush plants 2 to 3 feet apart. Keep soil evenly moist and remove floating row covers when flowering begins so pollinating insects can reach the separate male and female blossoms. Avoid planting into cold soil because emergence and establishment will be poor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGaia describes plants approximately 2 to 3 feet high and 3 to 4 feet wide. Harvest fruit young at about 3 inches across while the skin remains tender and seeds are small. Frequent picking supports continued production; oversized fruit becomes firmer and often slows formation of new zucchini. Use promptly or refrigerate for approximately 4 days. The round fruit works especially well for stuffing, gratins, roasting, and sautéing. Freshly opened male flowers are also edible. Discard any fruit with unusually intense bitterness.
