Zucchini Cashflow Squash
Cashflow is a hybrid zucchini bred specifically to solve one of the most frustrating problems home gardeners face: zucchini yellow mosaic virus. While its virus resistance is the headline, what really matters is that this bush variety delivers prolific harvests in just 40 to 49 days, reaching maturity in compact upright plants that top out around 24 to 30 inches tall. It thrives in full sun across hardiness zones 3 through 13, making it adaptable to most North American gardens. Plant just one or two Cashflow plants and you'll have abundant zucchini throughout the summer without the disease anxiety that keeps many gardeners from growing this productive crop.

Highlights
Cashflow breaks the cycle of zucchini frustration by combining reliable virus resistance with the kind of yield that makes one or two plants feel like more than enough for a household. The upright, bushy growth habit keeps plants tidy and manageable, and the speed to maturity (46 days in most reports) means you're harvesting tender squash fast. This is the zucchini for gardeners who've watched virus devastate their crops in past seasons and want to garden without that defeat.
Common Uses
Cashflow zucchini are harvested young and tender, when they're at their peak for slicing, grilling, sautéing, and incorporating into summer vegetable dishes. The compact bush habit and prolific production make them particularly suited to gardeners with limited space or those who want to grow just enough for fresh eating without overwhelming harvests.

Care Instructions
Direct Sow
Direct sow Cashflow seeds into warm soil after the last frost date when soil has warmed to at least 70°F. Push seeds directly into garden soil spaced 36 inches apart.
Harvesting
Begin harvesting Cashflow zucchini when they reach 6 to 8 inches long, around 40 to 49 days after planting. Young squash are most tender and flavorful at this size. Check plants every 2 to 3 days during peak production, as zucchini can grow quickly once they start. Cut fruit from the plant with a sharp knife rather than twisting to avoid damaging the stem. Consistent harvesting encourages the plant to produce more flowers and fruit throughout the season.
