Summer squash, or zucchini "One Ball F1" (Cucurbita pepo) is a truly unique proposition on the market. This prolific, disease resistant heterotic hybrid cultivar produces rich crops of the one and only fruit. They are ideally round in shape and are harvested when they reach 10 cm in diameter. Under the intensely yellow peel there is a thick, creamy, very delicious flesh. The variety offered here is intended for frying in slices or filling.

The "One Ball F1" zucchini should be grown from seedlings that ought to be produced in early spring on a hotbed, in a indoor greenhouse or in the pots covered with glas. Direct sow in the second half of spring is also possible. Summer squash is rather demanding in terms of water, therefore it is usually cultivated on not too heavy soils with high water capacity. You should consider fertilizing lesser soils with humus or evenly spread manure. The plant will bear rich crops without covers, provided it grows on a sunny, warm site. These round, small zucchinis can be harvested in the second half of summer.
