2. Planting
When it comes to zucchini, chances are you are going to read a lot about planting in hills. When you hear the term hills there are many things that may come to mind, such as a hilly area of your yard or garden to plant in. However, in gardening, the hill actually does not mean a raised mound. Instead, hills refer to creating clusters of plants.
When you are purchasing seedlings or seeds for zucchini plants you should make sure that you are planting two or three plants very close together. The main reason that you should do this is because all types of squash flowers have to be pollinated several times in order to thrive and provide viable fruit.
Each of the flowers are only open for a day. If the flowers are not pollinated, you will not get any zucchini. If you have several plants growing near each other you are going to have several more flowers open each day, which improves the chances of getting more zucchini.
