Zucchini Heaven!,
April 24, 2009 Submitted byKimba from Sandown, NH
"If you like Zucchini THIS IS THE PLANT FOR YOU! My goodness, I could not get over the number of healthy, beautiful, & delicious zucchini this plant produced! I had so many, I was giving them away, just so they wouldn't go to waste. The plants are compact too, so they stayed in their neat little rows all Summer. Planting these again this year, for sure!"

Huge and Plentiful Zukes!,
July 31, 2008 Submitted byMinnesotaBen from Rochester, MN
"I lived in Italy for a few years and the Italians sure know how to grow and cook zucchini. I finally found a good zuke with this delicious one! The zucchini grow large, and are soft fleshed - perfect for frying, grating, freezing, baking, and putting on pizza! Check out my picture!"

Lovely Plant with a Lovely Squash,
July 17, 2008 Submitted byChristyACB from Norfolk, Virginia
"After hearing so often that zucchini are best planted conservatively so that neighbors don't start avoiding you during harvest season, I thinned my plants down to just 3.
Mine are still creating new zucchini while I'm already harvesting the early, small and tender ones for fresh eating. This plant is a champion producer for sure with an exceptional germination rate from seed.
The flavor is without flaw and the squash is delightfully uniform with a smooth creamy flesh just right for eating raw or cooked.
For those with an abundance, try shredding them and then freezing in bags for use in zucchini bread, zucchini pancakes (think potato cakes from fairs) and casserole use in the winter when zucchini prices peak."

Nice, uniform zucchini,
July 14, 2008 Submitted byJeanWK from Elkton, SD
"This year I have about 20 zucchini growing on the plants at the same time. I think I overcrowded at planting time, but the plants are doing great. They are all the same shape and size, and they are not prickly or fuzzy like some types. They will work great for stuffing, baking, and grilling."

More Than We Could Give Away,
December 22, 2007 Submitted byKrider from Kansas
"I couldn't believe how well these produced. I love zucchini but we were running out of ideas for how to use it all up by the end of the summer, and we only planted 4 plants. The taste was great and my kids loved it too. Even with a late drought it still produced."

"This zucchini has good growing characteristics, whether planted in rows or beds. Bush type plants produce over an extended period of time. Plants prefer a loamy well drained soil and a ph of 6.4 to 7.0. Mulching helps to control weeds and conserve moisture. Germination rates are typically 85-90%. Seeds can easily be saved from an unblemished zucchini left to mature on the plant."

"the plants performed well, survivng a bit of a drought without a problem, but they didn't yield very well. I'd recomend sweet zukes, as they were a much higher yielder."
