Very good steady production for the whole season. Plant was huge and I had very good yield both in squash and male blossoms. Climbed all the way up my 7 foot trellis and invaded my tomato patch as well. Love the fact that there are no insect issues with this one. Flavor of blossoms and squash are great and customers are adapting to something that is not a zuch.

Seeds were started in March and transplanted in April (2008). I read a report saying Lemon Squash has a vining habit, so I put three of them into a flower box and intended to run them up a trellis. These squash stayed close to the ground, did not run at all. Same size and shape as a small pear, slightly ribbed, bright yellow. They have a creamy, rich taste, and one is about right for one meal. Not very productive in comparison to Yellow Crookneck.
