AlboPepper - Drought Proof Urban Gardening | Baby Round Zucchini: Grown in 5 Gallon Self Watering Buckets @Albopepper | Uploaded August 2016 | Updated October 2024, 7 hours ago.
Here's a quick video showing some Baby Round Zucchini that I've grown in some 5 gallon self-watering buckets. These sub-irrigated containers have a water reservoir that makes it easier to keep the plants watered, even during a drought.
I got this variety of mini-zucchini from Botanical Interests. The intent is to harvest these when they are small and immature. At a size of 3 inches, they are still soft and can easily be cooked as a typical Summer squash. But if you allow them to get too big, then they get much harder. At this point, you would need to prepare them like a Winter squash.
After shooting this video we sliced and quickly boiled the tiny zukes. They were delicious with just some salt, butter and black pepper! But the extra-large one required major boiling to soften it up. Afterwards, we stuffed it and it was pretty good. Just be sure to cook it long enough to soften it up.
My personal recommendation is to pick 'em when they're wee little guys!
