Pepo) \u003c\/em\u003eA variety that needs little introduction, Yellow Crookneck has been in the commercial seed trade in the US for nearly 200 years and likely predates that by quite a bit. 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.

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. It's become a favorite in our kitchen. \u003cbr\u003e60 days.
