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).
- AlishaCO, United StatesVerified ReviewerRated 5 out of 5 starsAug 10, 2025Beautiful and tasty
I was planting for one person, and sowed 4 seeds. 2 very strong plants are producing gangbusters right now, both are the green variety in the mix. I love them so much better than zucchini. I definitely recommend for short season climates as well.

- Juliana S.Verified BuyerRated 4 out of 5 starsAug 2, 2025Funky blend
Planted three in ground for my first time and doing well! One is the green variety, but produced some strange double blooms/fruit morphed in one stem several times. The other is possibly the smaller yellow variety but pollination has been unsuccessful to see for sure sadly. The 3rd must be an oopsie mix up in the packet or a genetic whoops as I've got mini white pumpkins and I don't own any white pumpkin seeds! Kind of a fun surprise to see what you get, definitely didn't expect a pumpkin tho. A nice bushing plant if you want squash but don't want to deal with the crazy vining (with the exception of the pumpkin of course). The green variety is delicious stuffed!

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with our Scallop Blend Summer Squash Seeds! We're thrilled to hear they're doing well for your first time growing them. That's quite the garden adventure you've had with this blend - from those funky double blooms on the green variety to the mysterious mini white pumpkins! While cross-pollination can sometimes happen with squash family plants, it sounds like you're getting a real mixed bag of surprises this season. We love that you're embracing the unexpected and having fun with whatever pops up! The green variety being delicious stuffed is exactly what patty pan squash is perfect for, and we're so glad you got to enjoy that. Your point about them being nice bushing plants without all the crazy vining (except for your surprise pumpkin guest!) is spot on - that's one of the great things about patty pan varieties. Sorry to hear about the pollination struggles with the yellow one, but it sounds like you're getting plenty of interesting results from this planting! Thanks for the honest and entertaining review, and we hope you continue to enjoy whatever else your garden surprises you with! Keep on growing 🌻️
- JulieVerified ReviewerRated 5 out of 5 starsJul 26, 2025Great variety and I love the surprise!
I bought the seeds last year and I had yellow patty pan and this year, I got the light green/white patty pan and a dark green one - it's so fun to plant and be surprised! This was on two separate plants, not two varieties/same plant. Looking forward to chopping and grilling with garlic olive oil. I've bought from Botanical Interests for years and even more now that Kevin/Epic Gardening owns the company - excellent quality seeds every time! The zucchini in the photo is also Botanical Interests (Emerald) that I let grow too long, oops.

Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful experience! We're absolutely delighted that the Scallop Blend Summer Squash Seeds continue to bring you such joy with their delightful surprises - from yellow patty pan last year to the light green/white and dark green varieties this year! That element of surprise really is one of the most fun parts of growing blends. Your plans to chop and grill them with garlic olive oil sounds absolutely delicious! And that Emerald zucchini looks fantastic even if it did get a bit oversized - happens to the best of us! We can't thank you enough for you continued support. Keep on growing 🌻️

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!
