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.

Trying something I heard about. Planted sweet peas in the extra space around my asparagus. So far, so good.
These San Marzano tomatoes have the most robust stems of all my tomato plants. First time tomato gardener but I have high hopes for this sauce tomato cultivar! I am already rooting a clone because it is doing so well. Can't wait for the fruit!
I took a gamble and purchased 10
blueberry plants from MIgardener this year - I am so beyond impressed with the quality.
I’ve had these in my sunroom since I received them, and haven’t even gotten to repotting them yet. They’re already growing flowers! I will purchase all seeds and plants from MIgardener from now on!!
All of the potatoes are growing beautifully! I am please with the purchasez
Thank you for fulfilling our order for red raspberry plants. I ordered 20 plants, 7 for my daughter in law’s birthday present and 13 for our new red raspberry bed. Twelve of the 13 we planted have thrown out shoots and leaves. We are patiently waiting on the 13th. Red raspberries are one of our favorite fruits and are used to make our favorite jam. We look forward to picking our own harvest.
