Known for its yellow color and straight neck, this heirloom summer vegetable is very popular, easy to grow, and fast maturing, producing a generous crop of delicious and delicately flavored fruits. Plants will continue to produce tender, vitamin-rich fruit until frost if all fruits are harvested before they mature. The fruit is delicious when baked, steamed, fried, or boiled, and when used in a variety of recipes. Squash freezes well.

• Planting Information:
  When and where to plant: Select sunny location and plant in late spring after soil warms. Soil should be cultivated, enriched with vegetable food and organic matter, firmed over the seed, and kept moist.
  Care: Keep soil moist and feed monthly. Don't worry when first blossoms fail to set fruit.
  Harvesting: Pick continuously when fruit is young and tender, to ensure a steady supply.
  Storage: Store seed in cool, dry place. Heat and moisture can severely reduce germination.
