2019 The rains this year didn't keep this one down - the vines required a lot of cutting back so they didn't take over the whole garden. I got a really great harvest, 2011 Extremely vigorous vining summer squash, best when eaten young as a summer squash (medium to dark green), but can be left to mature on the vine and cured to keep as a winter squash for several months (golden yellow). For eating like a zucchini, harvest is at about 45-50 days, for mature it's about 80 - 90 days. Excellent flavour, very firm. When cured as a winter squash it's reminiscent of spaghetti squash. Needs lots of room to grow, does well with trellising.
