In addition, it is tolerant to many diseases, therefore more durable throughout the season. Cultivation for the warm season, which requires temperatures of 18 to 27⁰ C. Sow indoors 3 to 4 weeks before the last spring frost or directly in the garden. Sow each seed 2.5 cm deep, in mounds 1.5 to 2 m apart. Thin out later, keeping the 2 or 3 best plants. It requires warm, fertile, well-drained soil and full sun exposure. Water heavily, to conserve moisture, incorporate organic matter into the soil and mulch after planting. In cooler regions, protect the young plants with cloches or tunnels. Types with running vines can be installed on solid supports. Zucchini-type squashes are harvested when their length has reached 10 cm, leaving a short tail. The fruit must be handled carefully so as not to damage it. Regular harvesting encourages fruit production. The flowers are also edible.
