Good production of zucchini even when the borer hit the plants rather early in the summer. There are still zucchinis to pick even the first week of September even though the stem is completely split due to borer activity. Poor resistance to powdery mildew.

We had a difficult year between extreme heat and lack of precipitation combined with COVID restrictions, the garden did not get the attention it normally would. This was enjoyed by many. A nice, clean zucchini.

Very productive, spilled out of its bed and took over the paths. Nice, tasty standard zucchini. Germinated well. Transplanted extras to adjacent bed and that worked very well. Would highly recommend.

The Spineless Perfection F1 Zucchini Squash was a slow grower, planted from seed. Our summer was hot and dry and the plant received water through drip irrigation here and there. Yield was low. The zucchini grew into a nice size and great tasting!

Low yield due to attack by squash vine borers. Would try this again with row covers to eliminate borer because it grew well, was tasty.

Easy toi grow although early squash bugs started to kill the plant. It rebounded and the fruit is very pleasing.

Nice, open plants that grew well from seed. The flavor was delicious and the texture was great- not watery. The only downside is that the plants did not produce for a very long time before starting to do downhill. I would plan on at least 2 succession plantings to get a season of great zucchini.

A strong grower, but not upright-rather recumbent. Zucchini harvested small have nice, delicate flavor and good, solid texture.
