Straightneck Squash, Summer Squash 'Early Prolific Straightneck'

This variety produces very well. The taste is as good as any or most. It is very popular around these parts. It is worth planting in any garden.

I like this variety due to the straight neck having more flesh than the crook-neck variety. They produce and taste good however you prefer them.

This website is great! Thanks to all your info, my husband and I was able to identify the mysterious plant that popped up in a vast leaf ...Read Morepile that we were using to fill in some "dead space" in the backyard. We have four huge healthy plants.
Now if we could only figure out how they got there.......
Thanks again for your great pictures and info!

This squash is great! I have huge plants in my garden, and they are very prolific. They taste delicious too.

This is a not...Read Moree to newbie gardeners in the humid south (like me): keep your squash picked clean! Remove the closed up male flowers every day. (They taste great too!) Remove bad looking leaves. Pick the fruit as soon as it ripens. When the wilted female flowers come off easily from the fertilized fruit, remove them as well.

And to keep down on squash bugs, I've had success with mulching my squash with cedar mulch. They don't like the smell, I guess.

Anyway, I would heartily reccomend this summer squash to anyone in my zone and I definitely intend to grow this again next year.
