The MayFord Caserta Squash is a prolific and fast-growing variety, widely appreciated for its tender texture and mild flavor. It is best sown in basins, with 6 to 8 seeds per basin, ensuring proper moisture retention and strong root establishment.
Plants require an initial spacing of 1 meter between basins, while seedlings should be thinned out to 3 plants per basin, ensuring optimal growth and fruit production. Regular watering is essential throughout the growth cycle, and pressing down the soil after sowing promotes healthy germination.
Harvest occurs approximately 45 days after planting, yielding smooth, elongated zucchinis measuring 5 to 15 cm long. The light green speckled skin is a signature characteristic of this variety, making it perfect for fresh cooking and grilling.
