Growing Zucchini Part 1 of 2 - The Definitive Guide

[@TheRipeTomatoFarms]

Hey guys, sorry for the re-release, but there was a mistake in the recap of the first video. My OCD would not allow that, so I fixed it and re-released it. Feel free to watch it again though! I won't complain!

[@OakKnobFarm]

I noticed it in the outro text, but didn't wanna say and sound like a picky jerk :) I knew what you meant

[@TheRipeTomatoFarms]

@@OakKnobFarm ha ha fixed. Once the views from this one die down, I'll take it offline. The fixed version is already up. Lol... Sigh... Who's in charge of quality control around here anyways? Ha ha

[@OakKnobFarm]

@@TheRipeTomatoFarms haha! I woulda pulled it too :) I hate it when that happens!!!!

Do you really have ocd ?

[@SpiceyKy]

Learned even more the second time I watched it.

[@TheRipeTomatoFarms]

Ha ha thanks! Appreciate the support Spicey!

There's a T-shirt...!!

[@NanaAnnaMe]

Thank you for this! I didn’t know you can start ahead indoor!! 🙌

[@TheRipeTomatoFarms]

Definitely Anna. For most people, it grows fast enough that you don't have to.....but anything I can start off-site earlier..I'm 100% in for it. :-)

[@brandywvstrong9531]

Love these videos. Getting a little warmer here can’t wait for spring. Watching again. Trying to figure out what the OCD change was!!! 😂

[@TheRipeTomatoFarms]

Ha ha it was in the writing of the recap. The first line had "before" twice. Argghh sooo annoying, LOL!

[@saltlifegull4091]

What totally beautiful videos you make! Music adds so much. Well sourced, full of info. Hope you have videos on fall gardens for the south!

[@TheRipeTomatoFarms]

Love your videos dude, you do an amazing job!

[@PatriotAcresinTexas]

Mornin' thanks for the reminder, I need to get mine started inside.

[@TheRipeTomatoFarms]

Right on! Best of luck this year! :-)

[@susanbeaulieu5627]

Thank you for your awesome instructions. I now know why my zucchini are lanky and have blooms to soon.

I made the mistake of growing zucchini seedlings from seed in ambient indoor light. They got tall thin stems. When I planted them out they were doing well until about the 5th zucchini fruit. At that point the 5th zucchini started bulging at one end about three times the thickness of the rest of the zucchini, stopped producing fruits and become very prone to falling over. The stem was very thin just above the soil, so the plants were bottlenecking at that point of the stem. Lesson learned. Next time I will grow them under proper lights. Don't make the same mistake as me... start your zucchinis under good light, not ambient room light.

[@TheRipeTomatoFarms]

Very interesting! I do know that Zucchini can also be buried up to their first set of leaves when replanting as well. So that could help if your seedlings still do get too leggy! :-)

[@beachforestmountain4269]

@@TheRipeTomatoFarms Thanks, that is very helpful - I'll do that next time I see they are leggy.

Paper cups 🥤 ... brilliant... thanks

[@Snoopyzell]

I have found your recommendation of watering the pots prior to seed sowing to be extremely helpful. Thanks

[@kingkha5672]

Hello, can you make a video about growing golden berries/Cape gooseberries. My little sister loves 'em so yea I'd like to see how they are grown!

[@TheRipeTomatoFarms]

For sure!! I've been meaning to for so long now!! Definitely have to get on that one.

Good morning

[@TheRipeTomatoFarms]

Hey Monika, ha ha, sorry for the duplicate video...there was a grave error in the first one's recap......my OCD kicked in so I had to fix it!

[@moramen2855]

Why are my squash roots starting to I push through soil surface? I already potted them up because I thought the first time it happened the seedlings were just outgrowing their pot. And now I think I over watered from bottom cuz it looks like dew on leaves last two mornings. Help.

[@toddsimme1562]

Couldn’t find part 2

[@ggwhhbb1822]

how to get a lot of flowers from zucchini ??/

[@ezclean7022]

where's part 2

[@TheRipeTomatoFarms]

Still filming it. Zucchini is not yet planned outdoors here so it'd be a pretty boring video of my plants just sitting, waiting for the weather to warm up, lol

[@ezclean7022]

@@TheRipeTomatoFarms ohh lol thats true. I just noticed the date. I just planted my 8 week old plant in a 7 gallon grow bag with some good potting mix and Im desperately searching to find out if 7 gallon grow bag is gonna be big enough 😫what do you think?

[@ezclean7022]

@TheRipeTomatoFarms ,,, So do you think that will work for me??

[@TheRipeTomatoFarms]

@@ezclean7022 plenty big enough... You could have been gone smaller. Most of the action for a zucchini plant is above ground.

[@greeneyedlady5580]

@@TheRipeTomatoFarms I've only grown zucchini in- ground before, so I went with a 10 gallon grow bag for 2 plants.
