Container Zucchini 'Patio Star'

Zucchini 'Patio Star' is a small scale zucchini, perfect for containers and small garden spaces. It produces many straight, 10 inch long, deep green summer squash with excellent flavor.

Plant in a large container using fresh potting soil, and feed every few weeks with a liquid vegetable fertilizer. Vegetable plants in containers need extra fertilizer and water in containers compared to planted in a garden bed. In the garden, plant in full sun in soil amended with compost and a good vegetable fertilizer.

Harvest zucchinis while they are still tender and before the seeds develop for best flavor. Try them sauteed in olive oil with a little garlic, then sprinkled with parmesan. They make great breaded and fried zucchini sticks. Slice them up and put them in pasta or lasagna.
