Light-green fruit with a soft skin. The squash 'Cucuzi Italian Snake' (Lagenaria siceria) blooms with white flowers. Its decorative fruit can be incorporated into a salad or a winter soup. The taste of this Cucuzi is somewhat stronger than a normal courgette. Sow the vegetable seeds directly in the open ground in a seed bed from late April to mid-June. Plant in fertile soil. You can harvest in September and October.
Space the squash seeds 80 cm apart. Space the rows at a distance of 80 cm. Plant at a depth of 0.5 to 1 cm. Lead the runners in an alternating pattern to the left and right. Plant the squash in a nice spot in partial shade or full sun. After sowing, water the seeds adequately. The vegetable seeds come in a bag containing approximately 2.5 grams. This is enough to sow 6 square metres.
