Piccolo Zucchini
55 days. We're beyond excited about this rare, adorable Zucchini that looks like a tiny Watermelon! Each tasty fruit is egg-shaped and deep green with high-contrast pale green stripes, best picked when just smaller than a tennis ball. Enjoy them cooked or raw, as their flesh is mild and sweet. The highly productive, spineless, compact bush-type plants are great for smaller gardens. (F1.)

A reliable warm weather producer, Zucchini should be sown as transplants 3 to 4 weeks before the last frost date. Or it is best direct-sown when the soil is above 50°F. Thin skinned, they store poorly, so harvest right before use. Keep picking to ensure continued production. Avoid baseball bats~enjoy them small and sweet in ratatouille, stuffed and baked, grilled or sautéed with pasta. Bee friendly. Deer resistant.
Average seed life: 2 years.
