Tasty, but not productive Review by ovenbird
Overall Rating
I grew out 5 kinds of summer squash this past season. The lemons were very tasty, and I loved them in the mix of colors and shapes in roasted mixed summer squash, but these vines, while insect resistant, were not as early or as productive as others..

Wonderful for Grilling Review by Unknown
Overall Rating
I love the taste of these small squashes! They were the perfect size to just slice in half and grill. We cooked them all summer with a light coating of olive oil and a little bit of salt, and they never fell apart on the grill. These are definitely going to be yearly staple in our garden!.

Best summer squash ever! Review by Unknown
Overall Rating
Best summer squash I have grown! It was easy to grow, prolific producer, & has a great taste. We ate it raw, steamed, fried, grilled, and even made dried chips to use with dip. Also had plenty to share and only had four plants. This is a keeper that I will have in my garden every year from now on..

Oddest Squash that I have ever grown Review by Constant Gardner
Overall Rating
This delightful little summer squash has monster vines that grow like a winter squash. It has totally over-run the area that I have planted it in - a month after direct seeding it, the vines are over 4' long!!! The thick vines are flexible like winter squash, but very thick. At each leaf junction, several little yellow BB size squash with their immature buds sprout, along with tendrils. This squash will be a regular. It produces better than my straight neck. Plant it off to the side..

Thanks to Baker's for recommending Review by Unknown
Overall Rating
I'd never heard of this squash, but in asking about squash that aren't so prone to the squash bugs, this was recommended. I'm so impressed with the yield (still producing like crazy), the taste, it's great for any use. We had a very few of the bugs early, but they seemed to move on to another plant (zucchini), and the lemon squash did just fine..

Excellent in the South! Review by Unknown

This will be our only yellow squash next year--why bother with the rest? Once it gets going, it's prolific. It is now mid-October, and we still have one plant producing fruit, even through our extremely hot Chattanooga summer and fall..

Excellent Review by Matt
Overall Rating
These were terrific, but I needed to trellis/stake the stalks up. Even though they'd run across the ground, before long, shoots would run vertically. If you left them unattended, they'd split and collapse with weight. They need more room than a true bush type, but not quite a vine either. A 4ftX6ft sturdy trellis would sustain a hill of three plants..

Excellent Review by Ouachita, AR Gardener
Overall Rating
Amazing plant! I've grown these for several years, but this year was a gardening nightmare. Over 100 every day for months. Squash bugs were in plague numbers. On top of that I got 2 inches of quarter sized hail in July! These plants put on all new growth after having their leaves shredded and a week later started making more little squash. My yellow straight neck squash succumbed to squash bugs so quickly that I only got 2 squash. My lemon squash are still producing and the plants are beautifully healthy..

Our favorite squash - by far Review by EcoPerch
Overall Rating
This is the second year we have grown this squash variety in Georgia. We have not only had successful harvests, but the plants were easy to start, only loosing a few along the way. Definitely succession plant, The plants started in April were completely finished by August. For my small family, this is the perfect squash, a few sliced like lemon quarters make a great addition to kebabs & veggie medleys. A few plants produce huge amounts of lemon sized squash, that are never bitter, have very few small seeds (my husband hates long crooked necks with lots of seeds that get mushy when cooked), it holds its shape while cooking. The only plant we will never be without..

Excellent Squash - 2010 Washington D.C. Area Review by Shannon
Overall Rating
I started out hand pollinating but once they got going (because there were enough bee attractants in the garden) they produced an abundant crop. Gave many away and I still have a freezer full. Some that I seeded and shredded to make into muffins and breads and some that I cut into slices to saute with onions over the winter - delicious. .
