This wonderful heirloom was introduced to American home gardeners in the 1930’s. A compact, vigorous, bush with silky skin will enrapture even seasoned gardeners as the dark green turns almost black! Enjoy fresh, made into zucchini noodles, bread, stir fry, baked and even in soups, too. This is an excellent variety to freeze.
Add compost to soil and mulch at the base.
Do not over-plant - very prolific. Frost sensitive.
Harvest fruit at 6". A continuous harvest will encourage more fruit.
Direct seeding in the spring, can result in more vigorous plants.
