Comments:

2022 This has become my favourite zucchini. It's relatively tolerant of wet, and doesn't get powdery mildew too badly even when wet. Really good harvests, and plant isn't too huge (although not the smallest bush zucchini there is). I'm experimenting with how long one can last in storage into the winter when allowed to cure and will update when it finally starts to go (currently at four months - Jan 2023).
