"I'm an amateur gardener but these always grow great and taste wonderful. People seem fascinated by their light color but it's their wonderful nutty taste I love.
Just 3-4 plants will yield plenty to share. If you pick them small, split them lengthwise, brush with a little olive oil and garlic salt--they're delicious grilled. When they're bigger, slice them up and saute them or add a little cheese.
I come back year after year for these seeds--nothing compares!"

"The first thing you should know is that my husband does not like zucchini. However, he was asking me this morning if I was going to plant more of these this year. Nutty and sweet, on sturdy plants. Very prolific.
The only criticism I can think of is that the fruits scratch easily, and it's not very attractive. I'm going to have to come up with a good way to harvest and transport them without scratches if I'm going to add this variety to my farmer's market offerings. The few we offered via word-of-mouth and to friends last year were snatched up once people had a taste."

"This is the best squash I have ever grown. The flavor is great. Grilled, steamed, sauteed or baked you can't go wrong. Have shared this with some neighbors, their comment was "I'm to going to grow this one next year." It is a extreamly prolific plant, so they just keep coming and you get to keep on enjoying. If you plant any squash, this one is a must. You won't be disappointed."

"I planted Sweet Gourmet for the first time this year. I am not a fan of zucchini, and I almost didn't plant it. Am I glad that I decided to try it. It is the best tasting squash that I have ever put in my mouth. It tastes great, even raw. Next year, I will be planting mainly the Sweet Gourmet instead of yellow squash. I am totally sold on this one."
