Initial Plant Research

Zuc⋅chi⋅ni [zoo-kee-nee]
Zucchini is a vegitable. It is a “summer vegetable” they are warm weather vine plant, they grow the best in warm wathe, but they can grow in most gardening climates.
The best soil you can use when growing zucchini is clean soil mixed with compost. Its also good for the plant to have soil with “good drainage”
The growing process for zucchini usually takes anywhere from about two to three months. zucchini fruit grows quickly.
The shallow root system require a weekly watering.
Small to medium sized zucchinis generally taste better than larger zucchinis.
For zucchini to grow a good amount, especially when there are multiple vines two foot growing area is best.
To prevent disease do not to handle the fragile vines when they’re wet.
To plant build an 8in deep mound of soil. Place several zucchini seeds ½” deep within the mound. When the seedlings emerge, thin to 3 plants on the mound. When the true leaves appear, you can thin to one or two healthy plants.


Gar⋅lic [gahr-lik]
Garlic grows best in warm weathers where there is no frost, although it can grow in many places.
Soil conditions for garlic are best when the soil is well-drained with sandy loam with humus. But they will grow in a wide range of soils, but the looser the soil the bigger it will grow. Also, if the pH level is approx 6.0, it will grow very well and keep garden free of weeds.
Plant the cloves, separated from the bulb in spring or summer.
Plant the garlic, separated from the bulb with the blunt end down about 1 ½ in deep. Space them at 6" apart and make the rows 1' apart.
During germination, keep the garden soil moist, but not too wet. When they are more mature, only water when the dirt around seems to be drying out.
Pick the garlic when the flower dies and the leaves begin to turn yellow. Don't water the garlic bed for two weeks before you pick them. Take the bulbs out of the ground with a fork so that you don’t damage the bulbs.
