| Excellent reliable zucchini type squash. Prolific yield, tender even when large. Hung in there after getting significant borer damage. My plant produced 2-3 fruits at a time all summer, usually at staggered stages of development. Excellent for stuffing when get mid-sized, and 1 could feed a dinner gathering! |

| This might be the only zucchini I'll ever grow from now on. The flavor is so good and my husband and I never get tired of eating them in the summer. I have had some problems with powdery mildew. Also the plant seems to prefer to grow the opposite direction from where I have made room for it! |

| Delicious! Very prolific. Pick them small, to keep the harvest manageable. A very large plant, though not as big as a vining-type. |
