The plants got massive, 3 feet tall and 8 feet in diameter. I liked the small 3-4 inch squashes. If I missed one and it got 6-8 inches, then the skin was very tough and less flavorful. But I cut the young ones and froze to use later in soups and casseroles, and they were good. It stood up to our heat and humidity, squash vine borers and squash bugs. The powdery mildew that usually takes down my squash didn't bother it.

This was our first year growing this variety, and I'm so glad we did. One of my favorite squashes now. Even tender when they get larger, as we discovered after accidentally missing a few when picking; these we missed grew large by the time we found them later, but were still as tender as could be. Grill them on a kitchen counter-type grill with olive oil, salt, pepper, oregano or any other spices you like for a delicious treat!

One of my favorite recipes is Lebanese stuffed zucchinis so it was very nice being able to grow these because of their thinner skin and tenderness. Quite a high yielding plant but unfortunately we had squash vine borers really bad last year. Hoping for a better year this year.
