This stunning slightly ribbed, courgette variety produces lots of classic long straight shaped zucchini, pale green almost white. Very productive and early perfect either cooked with olive oil or grated raw in salads. sliced for BBQ kebab vegetable. Italian Bush variety, easy to pick.

SUMMER SQUASH

Summer Squash - a broad term used to describe soft squash varieties such as zucchini and patty pan squash—is a warm-season crop that can be grown almost anywhere in full sun. Wait until any threat of frost has passed and the soil has warmed to about 70 F before planting, as these tender squash varieties are extremely sensitive to frost and light freezes. Perfect for containers, most summer squash grow on short, compact vines that don’t require trellising or staking, unlike the sprawling vines of most winter squash and pumpkins. Rather than growing baseball bat-sized zucchini—which can be bland, full of seeds, and woody—harvest squash when fruit is small and tender and your plants will keep producing right up to frost.
