SUMMER SQUASH Many of these are also used for winter too! The species is C. pepo on all squash listed here, unless otherwise noted. 20 seeds + per packet. Summer Squash are grown for immature fruits which can be harvested all summer long. Very heavy feeders, they need soil heavily amended with manure, compost, or other source of lots of nutrients. Sow in place in full sun after last frost; or start a couple weeks earlier indoors, but never let squash transplants become rootbound, and do not disturb the roots in transplanting. Seed are sown up to one inch deep. With the exception of Zucchino Rampicante, summer squash are bush-type (non-running) plants that may be grown 4-5 feet apart.
Tondo Scuro di Piacenza
Forget the new "Eight Ball" hybrid. There already was an heirloom version. These are rich, dark green color, round shaped and very flavorful, perfect for home or markets. Vigorous plants produce well. Italian seed.
