Yellow Crookneck Summer Squash (55-60 Days)

crook neck summer squash

this is my go to for a summer squash. the best time to harvest it is when they just start getting seedy inside but the rind is still soft. I have converted many people to this squash because it actually has a flavor and some texture too. I have to plant a lot as I have a lot of garden buddies that I keep supplied with when we trade. I planted my last hills August 1st and started the massive harvest Sept 8th. these will keep me busy picking them until frost.

yummy easy to grow sweeter tasting crookneck

Will grow these next year for sure!

YELLOW CROOKNECK SUMMER

I grew this variety last year and I loved it. Produces beautiful shaped crookneck squash. I love the flavor of crookneck squash. The plants were vigorous, and productive. Like all summer squash - The squash vine borer is a heart breaker for gardeners. I did my best to keep them producing for at least five weeks after they set fruit. This variety is the classic shaped crookneck it is really a beautiful variety. I recommend it. I am planting it again this year in my garden.
