ZUCCHINI ASPIRANT An early variety (38 days). Variety is characterized by excellent yield. The plant forms a compact bush, with a short main stem. Fruits are cylindrical, 6 to 8 long, 1 to 2 in diameter, and weight 1 to 2 lbs. The flesh is white and juicy. Planting instructions:   It is better to start preparing seeds for planting by selecting quality seeds. To do this, seeds, in small portions, stirring, sprinkle in 3-5% salt solution. Large and high-quality seeds settle to the bottom, and those that have surfaced must be discarded. Drowned seeds must be washed under running water and dried.  Dry zucchini seeds need to be warmed up at a temperature of 120-140 for 5-6 hours. This process is needed to remove seeds from a state of hibernation. Zucchini likes well-drained, fertile soil thats been amended with lots of compost. Plant seed outdoors when the soil temperature has reached 60°F—about a week after the last frost. You want to give your squash a lot of room to spread out and grow. Plant them about 3 to 4 feet apart in rows 8 to 12 feet apart. If space is limited, put up a trellis for vertical support. Zucchini like consistently moist soil. To prevent problems with dis ease, always water from below. Spray plants with compost tea two weeks after seedlings come up. Spray again in three weeks or when the first flowers appear.
