| This squash combines beauty with taste and reliability. The fruit just glows on the plant, on the counter, or in a CSA basket. Very showy and tasty with a fine flesh that is mild and thus picks up flavors well. These have been healthy plants in an unhealthy year. It also looks lovely next to Benning's Green Tint! |

| Beautiful bright yellow squash with a delicious nutty flavor. Fruit can grow quite large if you let it get away from you. I like to pick small, around 2-3 inches wide. But the big ones are good too. |

| I'm having a lot of fun growing these this year. Easy! Just put the seed in the ground. No need to do anything else. I have two plants that are producing 4-5 squashes a week. No signs of disease on the plants either. The squashes are a convenient size for 1-2 servings. |

| Summer squash are really one of the easiest plants to grow for me. Just plant the seeds, leave enough space, and let them grow. This plant stayed fairly compact, and was prolific up until frost. I preferred to eat the fruit when it was fairly small, say 1"-2" in diameter. The only problem with that is you must be vigilant about watching the plant, as the fruit double in size in about a day. |
