This heirloom summer squash trio includes the native American heirlooms, Early White Bush and Golden Scallop which date back hundreds of years, as well as Bennings Green Tint which was introduced in the early 1900ís. These squash have a unique saucer shape, and a slightly spicier and nuttier flavor than other summer squashes. They are so attractive, you may want to display them in a bowl on your kitchen counter for a few days until you give in and eat them! You can begin to harvest them when they are 2î in diameter and at their tenderest, most luscious flavor. (Mature squash are 2 1/2-3î inches in diameter. If they are allowed to grow larger, texture may be tough.) Scallop squash grow on vigorous bush type plants. An old-fashioned recipe from an 1894 cookbook is included inside the packet.

Massive quantites of White squash
I planted these seeds in three places last spring:1) directly in the ground in our community garden2) in an Earthbox container located on a very hot concrete pad3) in an Earthbox in a partily shaded area area.Only the seeds planted directly in the ground produced fruit -- we've had dozens of lovely pattypan squash all summer and into the Fall. The seeds planted in the Earthboxes produced lots of flowers, but they never "fruited." I don't know if this means this variety only grows when planted in the ground, but this was my experience in the summer of 2013 -- the wettest on record for the mid-atlantic region. I don't know if the rain was a factor. And for what it's worth, we only got white squash.

Also had poor germination success
Type of seed is not marked so you don't know what you are planting, a drawback in my opinion. Also had poor germination success. Would not buy again

Great seed company
I ordered a few different kinds of seeds from this company for the first time. I'm very impressed as the sprouting ratio was excellent and the information on the package is very helpful. Would order again.

Quick to germinate!
The plants germinated and were up in 3 days. Quick growing and vigorous. They are just blossoming now. Can't wait to see which varieties will grow.
