Black Beauty has been the backyard zucchini since the 1950s—dark green, glossy fruits that seem to appear overnight. Pick at 6–8 inches for tender texture and mild, nutty flavor; let a few grow big for stuffing or shredding. Plants are bushy, fast, and generous. Zucchini brings potassium and vitamin C to the table and the blossoms fry up beautifully. Direct sow once soil is warm, mulch to hold moisture, and harvest daily to keep vines productive. If you want a dependable summer staple, Black Beauty still delivers.

How to Grow

Plant seeds directly in the garden 1-2 weeks after average last frost date. Sow 3-5 seeds per hill, thinning to a final 2-3 plants per hill. Space between hills should be 3-6'. Optimum soil temperature for seed germination is 65-85 degrees. Or, start seed indoors 3-4 weeks before transplanting into the garden. Transplant to the garden 2 to 3 weeks after your average last frost. Squash grow best in a warm site with full sun. Warm soil is essential to good seed germination and emergence. Using transplants can speed production.
