Golden fruits with smooth skins, rich flavor, and a buttery interior texture. The fruits are uniformly and evenly thick along their length, produced on open, bushy plants. The plants themselves boast a high resistance to powdery mildew and Cucumber Mosaic Virus. The plants and their copious fruits are nearly spineless.
The leaves of Yellowfin may also turn yellow. This is the same genetic expression that makes the fruits yellow. It should not be a cause for concern.

Starting
Sow seeds 2cm (1″) deep. Sow 3 seeds in each spot you want a plant to grow and thin to the strongest one. Aim to space zucchinis no less than 45-60cm (18-24″) apart in rows 90-120cm (36-48″) apart.
Timing
Direct sow or transplant in late May or early June when soil is warm. For transplants, start seeds indoors in late April or early May. Optimal soil temperature for germination: 25-35°C (68-95°F). Seeds should sprout in 7-14 days.
Harvest
Pick regularly to encourage the plant to keep on fruiting. Zucchini leaves are often very prickly, so pull delicate skinned fruit out carefully. Fully mature zucchini have a hard skin: chickens like them.
