Use free draining soil well intergrated with compost or good quality potting mix when growing in pots. A good technique is to sow the seed, at 2-3cm in depth, directly into small mounds of compost that will ensure adequate nutrition and drainage. Hand pollination recommended. Nasturtium is a great companion plant, with best food partners being dill, mint and fritters!

Very prolific
This has been my most successful plant (living in the tropics). She is a bit of a sun hog and tries to take over the whole garden but has produced lots of delicious zucchini.
