About Zucchini
Zucchini are a variety of marrow. This vegetable was first developed in Italy.
Christopher Columbus brought the seeds to North America. where it became established. Internationally, it was well known only to people of Mediterranean descent for hundreds of years, but it is now a very fashionable vegetable in the Western world.
Zucchini are best eaten soon after picking or purchase. They are an excellent source of Vitamin C.
Tip when growing Zucchini
Don't depend upon the bees for pollination.
You'll be disappointed at the number of promising Zucchini that just shrivel and die.
Hand fertilizing is the way to go - when you see a male flower, use a feather to collect and transfer the pollen to the female. You'll get great results this way.
Another idea is to plant some lavenda bushes nearby - this plant is great for attracting the bees and hopefully they'll notice the Zucchini nearby.
Tip when growing Tomatoes
For every tomato plant, plant three basil plants - the basil
discourages the white butterfly which is responsible for the tomato grub.
Basil is also a handy herb to have growing in your garden.
Another tip concerning tomatoes is to not prune them - you might be surprised at the increased crop.
