| This cultivar produces well here. It is a large variety that competes with Medallion and Daisey Mae. Not as early as Daisy Mae but quite satisfactory. I still prefer Horn of Plenty, but this is a good crookneck for this area. |

| This is the first type of yellow squash I've been able to grow in the South. Wheras other varieties have wilted and died just as they were starting to produce, this one has been producing abundantly for a couple months, and although it is finally starting to show some signs of mildew, it seems to be producing right along. It has spread quite a bit--I find myself having to direct it away from the path as if it were a winter squash, but that's alright with me as long as it keeps producing tasty, blemish-free crooknecks! |
