Maturing in about 50–55 days, the glossy green fruits are best harvested when 3–4 inches in diameter for peak flavor and texture. Versatile in the kitchen and easy to grow, Round Zucchini Squash is a favorite among gardeners looking for something both fun and functional to add to their summer harvest.

🌱Planting Instructions

Aproxx seeds per packet: 40 Seeds

One of the easiest summer vegetables to grow, Round Zucchini Squash (Eight Ball Squash) produces abundantly and thrives in warm weather. For continuous harvests, plant seeds every 2–3 weeks through midsummer. Choose a sunny location with well-draining soil, as shaded plants will produce fewer fruits.

Direct sow outdoors after the danger of frost has passed and soil temperatures reach at least 60°F. Sow seeds 1” deep and 24–36” apart in rows 3–4 feet apart, or in hills with 2–3 plants per hill. Avoid transplanting if possible, as young squash seedlings establish best when sown directly in the garden.

Keep the soil evenly moist and mulch around plants to retain moisture and discourage weeds. Harvest fruits when they reach 3–4 inches in diameter for the most tender texture and best flavor.
