Awesome! We've grown this variety on and off for about five years and I never tire of the appearance, plant vigor, or taste. One year careless roofers dropped some tiles on it and thing still managed to survive and produce. The bright yellow skin really glows amidst the leaves so (doggone it) I have no excuse for letting it get too big! We grow in raised beds and it seems to do fine although I'd love to see how it would do with more space. Thumbs up!

This is one of my favorite summer squashes & is still available from many seed suppliers, so I must not be alone in my assessment.
I found the plants relatively compact for a summer squash & very resistant to squash bugs (which I have a lot of here).
It produced extremely well, but not to the point where I had more than I could handle (so often the case with summer squash). The fruits also seemed to stay small for a longer period - I never ended up with squash baseball bats with this variety as I did with my green zukes.
Most important - taste & texture was excellent both raw & cooked. Mild for a zucchini, but far less watery & less "seedy" than yellow crookneck or other yellow summer squashes.
5 vendors have this plant for sale.
