Read the fine print and have a good back. These Zucca grow large and the vines are productive - two to three monsters on each. They take time to process, have a high water content and are very sweet for a squash. Make sure you have friends who are winter squash lovers. The puree from these are an easy substitute for pumpkin for your holiday pies. Will definitely grow again.
These are huge, long, green, and heavy. They taste really good. We had a yield for every seed. They were like it said 30 to about 50 lbs but we harvested them early so they probably would have gotten bigger. WE planted them late but next year we will plant them in late May. We are in North Central, Ottawa, Illinois. Grew fast.
