Growing Doomsday Zucchini Seeds
This is our Growing Doomsday Zucchini seeds section. It gives instructions on how many zucchini plants are needed to feed one person for a year.
Each spring and again in the fall, we grow zucchini in our garden here in Texas. It is very prolific. You definitely get your money's worth when you grow zucchini. If it gets to be about 95° Fahrenheit or higher, the zucchini will not grow fruit so it needs to be grown in early spring and then again around the first week of September. Zucchini spreads out so each plant will need several feet to itself. It is not one of those plants that does well in tight rows. You will have to monitor the length of the fruits. A good zucchini tastes best when it is about eight inches long. Do not let it grow to be the size of a baseball bat unless you are growing it for seed. Big zucchinis do not taste good at all.

Doomsday Zucchini Seeds
There are about 25 calories in a cup of zucchini. Based on a 1200 calorie diet this is 48 cups of zucchini a day. I hope you like zucchini.
One zucchini will make about one cup. One plant will produce about 20 zucchinis a season. So you would need 2 and 1/3 plants per day. This is 851 plants per year.
A zucchini will produce about 25 seeds. This would be another 25 plants. Let's plan on 1000 plants per year. You would need about 1/4 of an acre to grow this many plants.
Zucchini fruits are picked when they are small for eating. If you want to produce seeds, let them mature. You will find the meat is not as good in larger zucchini and there is not much of it since you are using it for seeds.
Zucchini will not ripen any more once they are picked. They will last about one to two weeks while not refrigerated. Zucchini can
be dried and it will last for several months. And it can be canned
where it will last for a year or more. If you like the taste you
can pickle it. Of course, you can freeze dry it and it can last up to 25 years!
You will need drying and canning equipment if you want to store zucchini long term.
This is a lot of cutting but in a doomsday event, you won't have much of anything else to do.
Plant so you can harvest throughout the growing season.
Now, let's talk about the health benefits of doomsday zucchini seeds. The fiber in zucchini promotes gut health. It promotes bone health with Vitamin K, manganese, and magnesium. It has B vitamins folate and B6. Folate is great for pregnancies and B6 is good for preventing anemia. Zucchini also helps to support a healthy heart, lowers cholesterol, and lowers blood pressure.
Hiding your Seeds
I have come up with I call the Rule of Thirds. Have enough seeds on to plant 1/3, keep 1/3 for emergencies like crop failure and 1/3 for barter -- break this down into 1/3 for trading, hiding in an easy to find location (but not to easy) and a hard to find location.
The idea is for scavengers to find part of your stash but not all of it. Once they find the easy cache, then hopefully they will move on. Most scavengers probably will not know how to grow anything so they will probably take your harvest which is why we will pant off color and regular color vegetables.
One trick is bury your emergency cache under your trading cache. They will find the top cache and then stop digging thinking they have your seeds. Of course, you will act like they are taking all of them and you will die if they do not leave you some. You will need to practice this act before they show up.
Hopefully, they have not read this website and learned the secrets of surviving.
Growing Doomsday Zucchini Seeds - Purchase
We sell quite a few varieties of zucchini seeds on David's Garden Seeds® that you will enjoy growing and that you should have in your seed stockpile.
David recommends several that are no found in the stores. One type is the round type, This is called Round Green. Being ground scavengers may think there is something wrong with it, Another is the white. Being that it is White, food hunters may think there is something wrong with it. You will want to grow some Black Beauty. Hopefully scavengers will take the "Good Stuff" and leave you the bad. The thought is they will harvest the regular colored zucchini (being what can be found in the store) and leave the round and the white.
You can survive a doomsday event. But you will have to be prepared. You will need to have a plan in place. You will need to have at least, a small garden, to practice growing and harvesting. You will need to have seeds in your doomsday survival kit. You will have to come up with a way to water. It will not be running a hose and turning it off since these probably will not be working. Have some capabilities of using solar power.
