Most zucchini plants are naturally bush-type, but nearly all can be trained to grow vertically. Use a strong trellis or tomato cage and gently tie the main stems as they lengthen. Regular pruning of lower leaves encourages upward growth and better airflow. Trellising keeps fruit off the ground, reduces rot, and makes harvesting easier.

Parthenocarpic zucchini types set fruit without pollination and produce mostly female flowers. Common varieties include Golden Glory, Noche, and Dunja. Ferry-Morse does not currently sell parthenocarpic zucchini, but most standard varieties will still yield well with good pollinator activity.

Determinate tomato varieties are most often "bush type" tomatoes. Determinate tomatoes will set all their fruit in a certain period of time and do not need to be pruned. They grow well in a cage and do not require staking. Determinate tomatoes are smaller and produce fruit early in season.

Indeterminate tomato varieties will require staking and will continue to grow and produce until your first frost date arrives. Indeterminate tomatoes will set their fruit along their growing stems, which should be kept off of the ground. Longer growing period than determinate.

Heirloom varieties are open-pollinated seeds that have been saved from generation to generation. Usually varieties referred to as heirloom have been around for more than 50 years and offer a wonderful history in the names and flavors that continually provide dependable quality season after season. The seed from heirloom plants can be saved at the end of the season to be used again the next year.

100% certified organic seeds are harvested from plants grown without synthetic chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and fungicides. They harbor no residues from these chemicals. Organically grown seed produces hearty, robust plants already adapted to organic growing conditions.

Leaf curl is usually due to environmental stress—such as excessive heat, cold, or grow lights placed too close to the foliage. Check for pests such as aphids or whiteflies, but if none are present, move the plants slightly farther from the grow light (if using one) and maintain stable temperatures.

Direct-sow bean seeds. Bean roots are sensitive and do not transplant well, so moving seedlings can damage them. Plant seeds directly in warm soil for best results.
