Crookneck is an heirloom Summer Squash that produces 4 to 7 inch long fruits, but are best picked young. The outer skin is a pale yellow color, with a creamy white inner flesh. It's flesh is buttery and firm. Each plant grows to a mature height of roughly 12 to 24 inches tall, displaying a bush like growth habit, which will take up 3 to 4 feet of garden space. Crookneck will yield a fair amount of fruits, and can be harvested in roughly 50 days. Squash plants, like pumpkins, are grown as annual plants. Annuals will grow quickly, producing vines, leaves and fruits through the warm months of summer. After harvesting the Squash from it's vines, the plants will wilt soon after, with the cooler temperatures of late Autumn.
