When we grew for fresh market, we’d display all our summer squashes mixed together and, without fail, someone would come along early on and, with a wink, dig through the pile and clean us out of the crooknecks. They have an unsurpassed creamy texture and buttery flavor, and plenty of people know it! Big plants come on a little later than the zukes but sustain over a long period. At their best under 6”, before they get warty and turn from lemon yellow to gold. A defining food of summer they should find a home in everyone’s garden. \u003cbr\u003e60 days.

Here is a zuke to rival all the corporate-owned hybrids currently hijacking the zucchini market. Bred by Bill Reynolds of Eel River Produce in Northern CA \u0026amp; John Navazio from a cross between an old OP and Raven, a dark green hybrid from the 90's, Dark Star was selected in part for vigorous root growth to excel in dry farming conditions. What struck us, though, is the quality of the fruit. It, by far, is the most refined OP zuke we’ve seen, with very uniform, long, dark green, angular fruit. While not as productive at its peak as some (though certainly no slouch), it sustained its productivity over a longer period than others we’ve grown. Open habit makes it easy to pick and a sparser leaf architecture allows you to avoid potentially scratching up the fruit while harvesting. Recommended for the home garden or by the acre. The best OP standard zuke on the market. During the freakish frosts in Baja in the winter of 2011, Dark Star was likely the only organic zucchini in grocery stores in North America. Just a degree or two more cold hardiness kept it alive amidst a sea of frost-killed neighboring fields.\u003cbr\u003e50-55 days.

The kitchen had grown fond of the variety for a dish they served, but the one commercial source in the US no longer carried it. Together, we tracked some seeds down and collaborated in hand-pollinating a crop to ensure an adequate supply for future seasons. Likely named after the city of Odesa (Одеса), a bustling port city on the Black Sea near the mouth of the Danube, it’s a “cousa” type, a summer squash typical to the Middle East with pale green speckled flesh and a bulbous blossom end. Like others of its type, Odesa has a \u003cem\u003every thin skin and exceptionally creamy flesh\u003c\/em\u003e, slightly sweeter than other types of summer squash. Plants are vigorous, bush-habit, and very productive. Like other summer squash, they can be harvested as small as 4\" and as large as 12. The more you harvest, the more they'll produce! We’re happy to reintroduce it to the market and love to see farm-based seed initiatives like this, preserving varieties when the commercial trade abandons them.

While its popularity among squash aficionados is growing, the medium\/large speckled salmon-pink squash still deserves wider recognition for its fantastic suite of traits. \u003cbr\u003eVines are vigorous, and maturity is early, which is a boon in the north, and a very hard and thick skin makes the fruits \u003cem\u003every\u003c\/em\u003e long keeping: easily until sun-kissed, vine-ripened tomatoes replace winter squash as the flavor of the day, and with some care even until the following autumn's crop comes in. The flesh is very dense with low moisture content (which aids in storage) but strangely reminds us almost of \u003cem\u003emoschata\u003c\/em\u003e squashes for its fine texture and sweet, fruity flavor. It is excellent as a soup squash or for traditional roasting or braising preparations, but it also lends itself very well to \u003cem\u003eun\u003c\/em\u003ecooked (pickled or marinated\/oil-cured) uses as well (something I rarely look to \u003cem\u003emaxima\u003c\/em\u003e species for), making it quite versatile in the kitchen. \u003cbr\u003eBe sure to have a good cleaver or heavy, sturdy chef's knife for processing as the skin and flesh are both quite dense.\u003cbr\u003eFruits can vary in size from 5 to almost 15 pounds, but the most common comes in around the 7-8 pound mark. Both smooth and turban-button blossom end types are common in the natural genetic breadth of the variety.\u003cbr\u003e90 days.
