My zucchinis have developed brown spots inside. What could cause this problem, as I have not had it before? Can see no sign on outside of vegetable. I am growing organically.
This could be a sign of pests or the onset of a fungal issue. Treat the plant with neem oil. This is a safe organic insecticide and effective for use with many insect pests, though will not hurt beneficial insects, pets or humans. It is also a fungicide.

How can you tell when Italian Zuchinni is ready to pick? I grew some Italian zucchini this past year, the huge long curly type, but have no idea how to tell when they are ready to pick and eat. I think they look super but want to be able to try eating and promoting them.
Harvest is approx 55 days from planting.
You should harvest the zucchini when they are 4 to 6 inches in length for best flavor.
Allowing the zucchini to get to large on the vine will lower the production of other vegetables.
Don't let your zucchini get too big. I would say 10"
maximum.
