Baby Zucchini Plants
Posted on June 5, 2026 8:00 AM by Gerry Trout
I started these seeds in little plastic cups a couple weeks ago. And on a nice misty, rainy day, I transplanted them into the garden. I could have started the seeds in the garden (it's called direct planting) but it's harder to keep them evenly moist in the garden. In the little cups on the deck, it's easy to control the moisture. So that's how we do it.
I will show you them again in a couple weeks, and you will be amazed at how fast they grow. These three plants will fill this space, and flop over into the walk path.
But don't think for a moment that I only planted three zucchinis. Oh, no!!! I planted 18!!! There are six hills of zucchini.
So be sure to lock your car doors: because when we are swimming in zucchini, we get real creative as to how to distribute them.
HAPPY GARDENING!!!
