Early Golden Summer Crookneck Squash
Growing Early Golden Summer Crookneck Squash
‘Early Golden Summer Crookneck’ is an open-pollinated summer squash prized for its bright golden color and buttery flavor. Curved-neck fruits contain creamy white flesh that remains tender yet firm, while semi-open plants produce heavily and are easy to harvest.
Sow ‘Early Golden Summer Crookneck’ directly in the garden about 1 inch deep and space plants 18 to 24 inches apart. Grow in full sun. This heat-tolerant variety thrives throughout warm weather.
Ready to harvest in about 50 days, pick fruits young for maximum tenderness and flavor. Fruits left to mature become larger and warted, making them useful for decorative autumn displays.
Buttery, tender, and versatile, ‘Early Golden Summer Crookneck’ is excellent for frying, sautéing, roasting, everyday cooking, and storage.
