Growing Zucchini in Containers on a Deck

Growing Zucchini in Containers on a Deck

Zucchini needs 2 feet of space and 8 inches depth — not ideal for small containers. If trying, use a 12-inch wide/deep pot, sow 2–3 seeds, thin to strongest at 4th leaf. Use fertile potting mix, feed with high-phosphorus fertilizer every 10 days.

Reality Check

• One plant per container.
• Stake to manage sprawl.
• Expect lower yields than in-ground.

Better suited for large pots or raised beds.
