This Italian variety is as flavorful as it is long. It is known as ‘snake gourd’ because of its appearance and ability to bend and twist like one. The flavor is tender, almost cucumber meets zucchini. . .cucuzzi-ish! Fruits start off fuzzy and as they mature they become shinier as the flesh thickens. Try this steamed, roasted, grilled, or even in soups. The uses are endless for this world-famous Italian squash.

Grown the birdhouse gourd before but these are similar. Will be looking forwarding to growing some
My grandfather used to grow this in his garden, and my grandma would turn it into an tenerumi soup. I have been trying to get cucuzzo to grow in my garden for many years with little success. I finally found that the key to getting seeds to germinate is by using sand paper to sand the hard shelled seed down. I have tried different methods like soaking the seeds in a damp paper towel, snipping the tip of the seed off, keeping it on a seed warming mat, etc.. but the only luck I've had is to sand down the whole seed with sand paper. My next battle were slugs. I was finally able to get 3 plants going this year, and they're taking over! I have tons of fruit and beautiful tenerumi that I'm so excited to make! This whole process has been pretty nostalgic for me and really made me think of my grandparents all along the way. So fun! :)
I planted several seeds in composted in ground beds with a cattle panel trellis. It was a bit slow to sprout but once it did, it took over the entire three section cattle panel trellis, rounding the top and coming down the other side. I have many fruits started, the largest one is around 2 ft now with more on the way. I am impressed. Zone 6b outside of St Louis mo.

As described. Good germination.
We have nice fertile soil in our greenhouse and able to control those pesty little flea beetles that can decimate eggplants foliage. I've been keeping them under control with DE and my eggplants are massive in size, about 3-4 feet tall with 1 foot lower leaves.
The eggplants fruit are developing nicely, nearly doubling in size daily. There are plenty of blossoms too. We're expecting that we won't need to grow more for a few years, we're planning on freeze drying most if them.
I purchased several packs of seeds from MiGardener during the semi annual sale, and they did not disappoint! Nearly 100 percent germination rate on all seeds I've planted. The only thing I haven't been able to germinate is lemon grass, which I'm learning may 1 take a very long time to germinate in general and 2 need bottom heat to help them sprout. Even without being on sale 2 bucks a seed pack for the amount they give (very generous compared to other companies, I might add) is a crazy good deal. If you have been on the fence, I encourage you to give MiGardener seeds a try! Thank you Luke and team, and Happy Gardening to all!
I'm not a seasoned gardener, so I don't necessarily know what's normal or not, but out of all the seeds I planted (got about a dozen different herbs and greens from MIgardener), the fenugreek was the quickest to sprout, had the highest germination rate, and the largest sprouting leaves. I'm pretty excited to watch them grow into beautiful plants.
Gardening for over 40 years. The Trifecta very impressed has all the elements I want in a fertilizer. Next year I will buy the largest amount.
