| Excellent, healthy plant with good flavor. No sign of powdery mildew -- kept producing until frost. Far out-performed my other varieties. |

| A great producing plant that produced lots of squash until the vine borers finished them off. The fruit was less prone to go to baseball bat size so quickly and had great flavor. |

| Only problem this year was that the deer ate 1/2 of my zucchinni plants in one night. Yield from remaining plants was very good. |
