Planting & Care

Soil & Water: Provide squash plants with deep mounds of organic matter, rich soil, and heavy, even water. All squash are extremely frost sensitive, so use mulch to heat soils in early spring and row covers to protect from frost at both ends of the growing cycle, especially in short growing seasons.

Planting & Growing: Start seeds indoors 3-4 weeks before the last frost, or sow seed directly once soils are at least 70°F. Use row covers to provide a physical barrier to many insects.

Harvesting & Storage: Harvest squash when they are 4"-7" long to keep production high, and for best flavor. Don't waste male squash blossoms by leaving them in the garden. Toss them in the salad bowl or add to any squash preparation.

Love this variety!

We grow this variety most years. Skipped it last year in favor of a different variety, and regretted that choice. Came back this year to ensure we'd have THIS variety in our garden this summer!

Reliable and store well!

I've grown this type of zucchini for several years now. It is very reliable. Holds up well to most everything (wind here). It's a nice bush type zucchini. Color is deep green. It seems almost seedless as the seeds don't fully mature even when these are 1 1/2' to 2' long. We use these for zucchini boats. They store well at the larger size. We rarely use them at a small size.

Zucchini for friends and neighbors!

My starts are about ready for the raised bed. The seeds germinated well. The plants look healthy and like good producers. Drop me a line later this summer if you'd like some delicious zukes! I'm sure we'll have plenty.

Great crop year after year

Black beauty has been my zucchini of choice for a few year now. Sprouts quickly, is pretty hardy and makes an abundance of tasty zucchini.

Productive, good keeper

This squash produced way more than I could ever handle. It keeps exceedingly well. Plants faded towards the end of the season d/t some powdery mildew, but I was relieved to get a break from squash.
