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 shorter stems).

    We have pattypan squash coming out of our ears! Ignore the zucchini in the picture because they are definitely not the star this year! I’ve harvested 8 off of one plant in the last two weeks! They are a vigorous grower and I totally recommend them!
