Ordering seeds this week and I am look for recommendations for best flavor in a zucchini. Thanks.
zucchini varieties
Everone taste is difference. I favor the middle eastern types myself. Less watery than standard zucchini. Have not tried a bad variety, but best performer thus far has been Profit. I have grown Alexandria,Barq, Basima, Clarimore, Cue Ball, Freckles, Geode, Istar, Magda ...
Thanks Farmerdill, I will give one or two of them a try.
This year I'm trying Ananashyi Zucchini from Victory seeds. In the past I've had Zucchini Bianco di Trieste, Cue Ball, Magda, and the Italian trombone one--gosh, I can't remember the name! I'm kind of crazy....I liked them all!
I like Segev and Profit, both light grey varieties. Segev is parthenocarpic and can be grown under row covers.
I just ordered some I've never tried before: Early Bulam
This is a Korean summer squash hybrid nicknamed avocado squash because of its appearance. If you are searching for a summer squash to grow, this is the one! It is a vigorous vine plant that produces oval fruit with thin, glossy, light green skin and flesh that is similar to zucchini. They are ready to harvest as soon as 8 days after flowering. Ripe fruits measure about 4" in diameter and 5-6" in length and weigh about 14oz. The Cucurbita moschata vine-type plant is a vigorous grower. This hybrid delivers superior flavor—better than zucchini, say its loyal fans.
from Kitazawa Seed Co. Someone on the Tomato forum gave a link to some tomato seeds I wanted to try and to maximize the shipping I was poking around for something else to try. We'll see!
