How to grow "Tabergmouzt du Maroc" zucchini plants from seed?
- Tabergmouzt du Maroc" zucchini seedlings are sown in pots between March and April, with 2 to 3 seeds per pot. Transplanting takes place 2 to 3 weeks after sowing. It's important not to sow zucchini seeds too early, to avoid the formation of fibrous roots that could delay plant development in the garden. To ensure successful germination, zucchini seeds should be kept at a temperature of 18-20°C, in a substrate that is always moist.
- Sow outdoors from April to July. To sow directly in the garden, wait until the last frosts have passed and choose a bright 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 plants or seeds.

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.
Zucchini production can be affected by high temperatures. Poor pollination can also prevent fruit formation. To avoid these problems, we recommend growing several zucchini plants together and attracting pollinating insects to ensure good fertilization of the flowers.
