Planting in Shady Spots
Zucchini is a sun worshipper, needing at least six to eight hours of direct light daily. I tucked my plants near a tall hedge for “convenience,” only to see them stretch leggy and never flower properly!
Choose a sunny, open location free from overhead shade. If full sun isn’t possible, opt for bush varieties that tolerate part-sun, but remember: more sun equals more flowers, more pollinators, and more delicious zucchini on your table!
