Round Zucchini Squash History

(Cucurbita pepo) Forget about all of the hybrid round zucchinis and their outrageous prices. This is a top quality open-pollinated strain of round zucchini. Round Zucchini have been popular in Europe for years. The Italians have their dark green Tondo di Piacenza, the French have the light green speckled Ronde de Nice, the Dutch have the “Roly Poly” (a loose translation from Burpee’s marketers) and the British have their single serve striped marrow, Tender and True.

Planting Zucchini

While you can plant zucchini in rows, hilling provides several benefits: hills of soil warm more quickly early in the season, if you want to sow seeds as soon as possible after the last chance of frost, plus hills provide better drainage than flat rows.

Preserving And Storing Your Zucchini For Later Use

Compact plants produce an endless stream of baseball sized round to oblong fruits all summer if you are able to continuously pick the plants. When selecting zucchini for freezing as slices, noodles, or halves, choose firm slender young zucchini about 2 inches in diameter and 8 inches long. The zucchini should have bright colors and no blemishes, soft spots, or wrinkled skin.

As zucchini grow larger, they become tough and develop more seeds. You can best preserve large zucchini by either shredding or puréeing them. Scoop out seeds and spongy areas with the tip of a spoon. Ideally, harvest just before freezing for the best quality, or up to three days. Store unwashed zucchini in the refrigerator crisper drawer. Wash the zucchini well in cool running water before preparing it for the freezer.
