It is perfect for baking whole and also stores very well. Drought tolerant Cocozelle has become one of our most popular selling summer squashes. Their unusual markings make them a hit when served in an antipasto or lightly steamed whole and dressed with a fresh olive oil. For a true taste of sunny Italy, grow this unique, early and productive summer squash. This is an old favorite of many of our customers and so we are carrying it this year.
Plants form a compact bush-like vine that is very productive.
49 days to maturity Goldrush, with its sweet, tender flesh, is one of the earliest, most prolific squashes on the gardening scene today. A winner of All America a few years ago, it remains the standard for other varieties to aspire to. Goldrush is perfect split in half, brushed with olive oil, and grilled. The babies, picked no larger than your small finger, are perfect lightly steamed, chilled and added to a salad or antipasto. This is a wonderful 'all-round' versatile gourmet quality zucchini.
