WOW!,
September 4, 2009
Submitted by Kendra
from Plainfield, IL
"These were very mild and mellow tasting. They plants got HUGE and the veggies got even bigger! They would sprout and be huge within days of noticing they were starting out. As long as the plant grows, you really only need one plant for a small family, otherwise you'll have too many to know what to do with."

NEVER AGAIN until bigger garden!!!,
April 1, 2009
Submitted by Chukli
from Long Island, NY
"My first year planting and the only things that were successful out of all the seedlings were: hot peppers, tomatoes, and yellow zucchini. Not knowing what my first results were going to be, I transported about 12 stems (from seedlings) to an area of 3 x 5 feet...what a mistake!!!
At first (June 2008) it showed little progress; then the plant leaf stem/or arm started growing at an alarming rate, getting as long as 2-3 feet in length with enormous leaves. Then around July, these -yellow looking- thick baby zucchini's started to emerge. By August to late September, we grew so many zucchini's it took up most of my little garden; so many were produced that we were forced to give a lot away to friends and family. It was most remarkable, I felt proud.
The taste was sweet, the color bright yellow, healthy texture feel, and large in size. I would HIGHLY recommend this to any first time gardener; just please get a bigger plot than 3 x 5 feet (as this is not enough for even 5 plants). One more thing, if you think harvesting or pulling 5 zucchini's at once will reduce your quantity, you're wrong...10 more healthy zucchini's will replace those five you pulled. Ensure a good fertilizer -with miracle grow- is used (I usually mix 50% natural dirt with 50% fertilizer)."

Great Yellow Zucchini,
September 16, 2008
Submitted by LakeErieGarden
from Lorain, OH
"This is a very nice looking and super yielding plant even by zucchini's standard. In fact, as I write this in mid-September, it is still producing fruit and flowering in my garden while all my other green zuke plants have wilted out at least three weeks ago. I planted these in mid-May. I have three plants and all three are still going fairly strong four months after I planted them. As for the taste, I was pleasantly surprised, it really does have a nice zucchini flavor and not super seedy. Do pick before they get too big as Burpee suggests or"

July 6, 2008
Submitted by zosoisme
from mass
"to start with of course I just LOVE the color YELLOW, and despise the color GREEN, so trying these zukes was a no-brainer... we slice 'em on a mandolin, brush 'em w/olive oil and just a touch of s&p and onto the grille... AWESOME !!! and they keep coming and coming.... I'm 60 and eat 4 or 5 a day myself...LOVE 'EM !!! bunny droppings and keep the water comin' are my 2 ironclad rules of thumb for any succulent veggies...... I plant mid april, cover with straw and hope for the best weatherwise, most times I win, sometimes I replant"
