Zucchini 'Diamant F1'

Latin: Cucurbita pepo
Swedish: Squash/Sommarpumpa 'Diamant F1'
English: Squash, Zucchini 'Diamant F1'
Producer: Bröderna Nelson, purchased at ICA Maxi 7/6-2011

Planted 8/6-2011 (See scheme for raised bed)
The raised bed contained for the most soil from the EcoCenter (low quality soil), but it was topped with cow manure from Plantagen (2 bags).
Planted 2 plants (actually 4, but I am supposed to remove the least nice of two plants).
28/7-2011: This did not go very well, really. Out of four seeds, only one gave a try at coming up but has nearly dried out completely already.
