Hello All!
I'm new to the gardening forum... so here goes.
I have started my first spring/summer garden (eight ball zucchini squash, peas and bush green beans) in a raised bed garden. It gets a considerable amount of shade from a large fig tree, but is in the sunniest part of the yard. I live in central california and our spring/summer so far has been very mild.
I planted the zuccchini from seed and it is got it's second set of leaves but they are a little bit yellow and not growing very big. I gave it a dose of liquid kelp fertilizer about a week ago.
I don't have any experience with zucchini, but does anyone know if this is normal and do the leaves get bigger as the plant grows more?
Thanks so much! Lindsay
Welcome to the Helpful Gardener, Lili ! Stick around here, ask questions (even if you think they may sound dumb), and you will learn more than you ever thought about gardening.
To answer you question, I'd give them time. Once they get going, zucchini grow like wildfire and you will find yourself with huge plants.
Oh, and one last thing, if you ever want to find some quick info without taking the time to post a question, you can use the "search forum" feature. There's some real gardening gold that it can uncover.
Great luck with your garden.
