We recommend planting zucchini and summer squash from late May to early July, depending on the season’s temperatures and rainfall. It’s a warm season crop, so it needs warm air, warm soil, and no chance of frost. You can find the excellent UMaine garden planting schedule here, and some further information on growing your summer squash crops from the UMaryland Cooperative Extension here.
