My heirloom zucchini seeds were getting very old & although you can save heirloom seeds, the zucchini/squash family is very diverse and will easily cross if many plants in the squash family are grown. I planted some of older heirloom zucchini seeds this spring & none of them germinated. I kept forgetting to get more seeds or if I looked for seeds they were not heirloom so I didn’t want to buy them.
Months passed and I could have placed an online order, but it kept slipping my mind. Finally I decided if I wanted to have zucchini this year I just needed to buy seeds even if they weren’t an heirloom variety. I ended up getting an organic variety and got them planted & finally I am getting my first zucchini! 😊
