How to sow "Yellow Zucchini without Smooth Collar"?
- In pots, from March to April. 2 to 3 seeds per pot are recommended. Sow in pots 2 to 3 weeks before transplanting.

The right temperature for zucchini seeds to germinate is between 18 and 20°C. It is important to keep them moist to allow germination.
- Sow outdoors, from April to July. To sow directly in the garden, wait until the last frosts have passed and choose a sunny spot. In the vegetable garden, prepare holes 2 weeks in advance, filled with compost or organic matter and spaced 1 m apart in all directions, to accommodate the zucchini seedlings.

WHY DOESN'T MY ZUCCHINI PLANT PRODUCE FLOWERS OR FRUIT?
When a zucchini plant doesn't produce flowers or fruit, there may be several reasons for this.
To ensure good zucchini production, it's important to prevent the negative effects of high temperatures. Poor pollination can also prevent fruit formation. It is therefore advisable to grow several zucchini plants together and attract pollinating insects to ensure good fertilization of the flowers.
HOW TO PRODUCE YELLOW ZUCCHINI SEEDS WITHOUT A SMOOTH COLLAR?
Here are the steps for making zucchini seeds:
Choose the most beautiful zucchini plant: the one with the earliest fruit, the one with the most fruit, and so on.
Let the best zucchini from this plant mature on the ground. They will grow and their skin will thicken.
Wash the seeds to remove all pulp.
Let the seeds air-dry on absorbent paper or a plate for about a week.
Store the dried seeds in a paper bag or airtight container away from light and moisture.
The seeds are now ready to be used for sowing next year. But they can be stored for several years without any problem.
