| 45 days from sowing. Perhaps the most delicious summer squash you will ever eat, Horn of Plenty Hybrid combines modern vigor with old-fashioned real squash flavor and look. It replaces the old favorite Dixie Hybrid, and to our taste offers much richer taste! The yields on this vigorous, single-stemmed bush plant are ENORMOUS, satisfying even the most squash-hungry gardener! The fruit is a very pale yellow, with just a bit of a crook in its neck (can we call this a "crickneck"?!) and a warty, homegrown texture that seems to add to the flavor. Very mild, sweet, and succulent, this is how squash used to taste before the refrigerated trucks got a hold of it. And if you're looking to save a bit of space in the garden, the habit of this squash will delight you. The fruit arises on a single stem, very abundant and yet occupying less room in the veggie patch than most varieties. You'll pick many armloads of 6-inch-long, 4-inch-diameter fruit before the season is out from this super high-yielding plants. If you liked Dixie Hybrid, Horn of Plenty is better in just about every way. Give this "crickneck" a go in the garden this season, and we know you'll be back for plenty more next year! Packet is 20 seeds. |
