description for "Summer Squash: Cucurbita pepo"
A zucchini-type squash that is a welcome addition for gardeners who dislike picking around spiny stems. The smooth stems mean less fruit damage and easier harvesting. Plants are medium size and yield uniform, cylindrical, 7 to 8 inch, flavorful, medium green fruits continuously throughout the season. Covering plants until they flower with row covers will help prevent squash borers where these pests are a problem. Days to maturity: 43.
