Green Griller Squash is a hybrid zucchini variety that produces dark-green, egg-shaped fruits that are perfect for slicing and grilling. In addition to the beautiful coloration, this zucchini squash variety has a delicious, nutty flavor and a texture that holds well after cooking. These will produce heavily within an 8-week window once plants start producing flowers.
Green Griller Squash produces plants with an open-bush growing habit, which makes for easy harvesting. The plants also have very few spines, which keeps the fruits blemish-free during the harvesting process. Slice these in half, add olive oil and seasonings, and throw on the grill for an excellent summer treat!
Green Griller Squash may be direct-seeded or transplanted, although we highly recommend direct seeding. To ensure a good stand, we recommend planting Seeds every 12" along the intended row. Once plants emerge, thin plants to one every 2 feet. Winter Squash can be susceptible to plant diseases like downy mildew and powdery mildew if leaves receive excess moisture. As a result, we recommend using drip irrigation on winter squash to reduce plant moisture and feed plants more effectively. During periods of heavy rainfall, using a fungicide like Liquid Copper can help to alleviate disease pressure as well.
