This variety is one of the oldest squash still being grown. Cultivated for centuries by indigenous peoples in North America, the namesake comes from the bent neck of the gourd with its rounded bottom. This shape provides good meat with minimal seeds. Pick them small, and they are the best thing for a summer stir-fry or vegetable salad.
The seed looks good, but it's winter, so can't attest as to how it grows.
Doing good...little powdery mildew but producing...
Exactly what I ordered and delivered in a timely manner thrid year I have used their stuff
This is seriously the BEST squash we've had. The plants did super well for us, and almost every seed sprouted. They were big and beautiful and gave us so many squash we were gifting like crazy!
This is a new one for me! Can't wait to try it!
This is my first year growing straw flower. The germination rate is fantastic and you get so many seeds. Can't wait till they can moved outdoors and bloom in my purple flower bed.
Everything but the royal paste sprouted. Sometimes that happens. Will place another order for fall planting.
This variety was excellent for me for cooking. I needed to pick fewer leaves and chopping was a breeze. The spinich felt more succulent and thicker than the American (smaller spoon shaped leaves). I would use it for cooking and keep the smaller leaved varieties for raw salad eating. My weather was a tricky early on and off again spring and winter pattern, so I think that triggered early bolting, but even still. It was pretty hands off and worth it.
Awesome producer and neat looking fruit! The abundant cucumber beetles seem to ignore the vines too!
Haven’t planted yet. Looking forward to adding to salads! So happy MIgarden had these. Hard to find Microgreen seeds
