Round Zucchini produces charming globe‑shaped fruits—often called Ronde de Nice or Eight Ball—that deliver the same mild, buttery flavor as classic zucchini but in a neat baseball‑size package perfect for stuffing or grilling. Compact, quick‑maturing plants fit in raised beds and large containers, setting heavy yields in just 60  days. Direct‑sow seeds 1 in. deep after soil warms up, or start indoors 4-6 weeks before your last spring frost date. Harvest when fruits are 3–4 in. across for tender skin and few/small seeds. Continuous picking encourages more production, giving you a steady supply of versatile, kitchen‑ready squash all summer.

Squash growing tips: To control powdery mildew and other leaf diseases caused by mold, fungus, or bacteria, simply remove yellowing, damaged, or diseased leaves by hand once weekly to decrease the spread. Spray with 1 cup of 3% hydrogen peroxide per gallon of water to clean and disinfect if needed. 
Spray squash plants with BT (Bacillus thuringiensis) if you noticed chewed up leaves caused by worm/caterpillar infestations. Hand pollinate the female flowers to ensure they get pollinated and produce fruit.

Common Diseases: Squash get a lot of leaf diseases caused by pathogens like molds, fungus spores, bacteria etc.... It is very common, so dont worry. Spray with 1 cup of hydrogen peroxide per gallon of water to clean and disinfect. Repeat every 5 days or so as a preventative, or until you notice the spread of the disease has stopped. 

Common Pests: Critters like rabbits love to munch on newly germinated seedlings, so protection from small animals might be required. If you notice the leaves are chewed up and there are small black, green, or orange balls, worms/caterpillars are chewing up the plants. Spray with BT or spinosad to treat for the worms.
