This variety is one of the oldest squash still being grown. Seeds were brought over from Europe and cultivated in the Americas as early as the 1500s. 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 description isn’t joking when it says “High Yields.” I got at least 5 squash from each plant and the squash are also good for decoration. I will definitely plant this again!

      I have had terrific success with this variety. Every seed thus far has germinated into a large, yielding plant!
      I am in South California and give them full sun & plenty of water. I cover them with 70% shade when temps are in the 90-100+ Fahrenheit range.

      This Crookneck Squash was a fun variety to grow. It is not an abundant producer and the plant itself is small and a bit fragile compared to other squash plants I’ve grown in the past.

      We found this to be healthy and quite productive. We experimented this year with one in a tomato cage and found it worked well and was so easy to pick. In the end, the pickle worms (something we’ve never experienced before) finally killed it. We also made dill and bread and butter pickles from them. We will be planting this next year again for sure.

      This is not one of my favorite zucchini plants I might have left it on the plant to long because it was a little tough and died from pm but otherwise great plant.
