All the Scallop varieties are productive and eye-catching: it's a pleasure to find a mix including the dark green variety. I do not have growing space to compete with larger outfits which sell standard zucchini and yellow squash. It requires planning and effort on a smaller plot to produce high-end "baby squash," and your Patty Pan trio really lights up the mix.

Ronde de Nice produces attractive fruit, more spherical than Eight-Ball and distinctively striped/mottled. That being said, the seedlings and plants are not as large, as vigorous, nor as productive. The fruits remain tender and flavorful to a large size, and this, with the appearance, keep it a desirable variety for "baby summer squash" mixes.

STILL TOO COLD HERE TO PLANT
