I grew two plants this year. Planted the seed in April. I have been getting a steady supply of zucchini. They are a very hardy zucchini and seem to be able to withstand the onslaught of squash vine borers. Even though they show some damage they are still producing.
Your plant looks great. |

Cocozelle is a variety we tried last year and enjoyed quite a bit, hope you enjoy it too. Another plant is in our garden and just starting to flower (it followed spring lettuce). Our other 2 zuke plants this year are Dark Green Bush (grew the past 2 years) and Cube of Butter. This is the first year of Cube of Butter, it has 5 baby zukes, 1 just flowered and 1 will be ready to harvest in a couple days, the other 3 will open over the coming days.

the smaller cocozelle died last week - the remaining one has yet to produce female flower that did not suffer from blossom end rot - I guess inconsistent watering and possibly a dense potting mix may have caused an issue
