Sow ‘Summer Scallop Trio’ Tricolor Pattypan Squash after the soil has warmed and frost danger has passed, or transplant established seedlings without disturbing their roots more than necessary. Preserve the recorded spacing because broad leaves and vines can occupy more room than young plants suggest. Check soil moisture at root depth and direct water toward the soil. Once fruit develops, inspect plants frequently and harvest at the stage appropriate to summer or winter squash. Use clean cuts to avoid damaging stems.

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.
