g'day kirsten,

mine get full sun with well drained growing medium, i get good
harvests and powdery mildew is no problem. a word to the wise (not
knowing how big you family is or waht you plan to do with the
harvest), they are prolific producers once in full swing you will get
at least 1 zucchini per plant per day. i had 5 plants and harvested
between 3 and 5 fruits each day.

pick them small they taste better.
