Have grown this variety for several years based on recommendation of prior Seeds from Italy owner, Bill McKay. Great taste fresh, fried, or boiled. Extreme Northern California where summer temps are 100+ every day--no problem on a drip system for this variety. Very prolific in a small area. I have a limited space raised bed, so every selection needs to produce or it doesn't return. This summer squash is the only one that has retained a permanent spot. As with all seeds from this supplier, germination rate is very good so you won't need many to get great results. Dan, thanks for keeping the seed to dollar value a great bargain!
Outgrew, out produced and out lasted hybrids despite powdery mildew pressure in my field. Great taste and firm texture even when larger, sold very well at market once I convinced customers to try it for the first time. I am in Midwest.
I like it because it is pretty compact, great producer, it will not take over the whole garden. It holds up in the heat well doesn't wilt much. I'm growing this in Southern California
