Product Details

We love 'Max's Gold' zucchini because of its beautiful color outside, and flavorful, firm squash inside. Long, straight fruits have a small seed cavity, meaning there's more delicious squash to eat. It's ideal for grilling, snacking on fresh, or adding to salads. Harvest frequently so that plants continue to produce throughout the summer months.

Growing Info

Harvesting: Harvest frequently to increase yield; squash seem to get monstrous overnight. While edible at almost any size, seeds are less developed in young fruit, therefore more tender. Using a knife or clippers, cut squash off including some of the stem. By including stem, the fruit is sealed and less likely to mold or dry out. Harvesting Blossoms: Look for male, non-fruit producing flowers that have long stems and harvest just before use (female flowers have a swollen mini-squash at the base of the flower and are on shorter stems).
