Overall Taste Yield Ease	Berkshire, Massachusetts, United States Frost Free Season: 123 - 143 days Soil Texture: Loam Garden Size: Small - Less than 400 square feet (20' x 20') Sun Exposure: More than 8 hours per day
These grew well in our small western MA garden where space is a premium. True to form they did not spread very far and produced 4 - 5lb fruits of excellent flavor. I give yield only three stars because we only averaged 3 fruits per vine and will need to plant more next time. We found these easy to grow, just set 'em and forget 'em with no pest problems even though some of our summer squash fell to squash vine borer. We grow organically and do not use pesticides or chemical fertilizer.

Overall Taste Yield Ease	Ontario, New York, United States Frost Free Season: 163 - 183 days Soil Texture: Loam Garden Size: Small - Less than 400 square feet (20' x 20') Sun Exposure: 6 to 8 hours per day
This squash was a disappointment in our three year trial. Fruits were below average in size, poor yielding and very prone to attack from the squash vine borer.
