| Although this squash was not prolific for us here in Central Texas, the quality of the squash more than made up for not having tons of zucchini. The plants are HUGE, and often I didn't find the squash under the big leaves until the fruit had reached a length of over a foot. However, the taste, texture and small seed cavity remained excellent. We picked perhaps four or five squash off each of four plants over the season. Next year I'll try more fertilizer and spacing them farther apart to try to improve the yield. |

| Excellent! If you like zucchini, when you taste this one, you'll love it. If you don't like, maybe this one changes your mind! Besides its taste, the aroma while I'm cooking, the texture, vegetable juice which you can't find in supermarket plastics, it may be easily in your all time favorite list. This is the one shows one more time why heirlooms are incredible. I bought seeds from growitalian.com. Many seeds, enough for many years. |
