Summer Yellow Squash Seeds (Golden Crookneck) – Non-GMO Heirloom

for sautéing, grilling, and frying. One of the oldest American squash, it's treasured for rich flavor that store-bought squash rarely matches. Who it's for For gardeners who want an old-fashioned, flavorful summer squash and cooks who prize its sweet, buttery taste when picked young. How & when to plant Direct-sow after the last frost when soil reaches 70°F, or start indoors 2–3 weeks early. Sow seeds 1 inch deep and space bush plants 24–36 inches apart. Full sun and rich, well-drained soil keep plants productive. Grows as an annual in USDA zones 3–9. Harvest Ready about 50–58 days from sowing. Pick young at 4–6 inches while the skin is tender and glossy; frequent harvest keeps fruit coming and prevents seedy, tough squash. Benefits & uses Excellent sautéed, grilled, breaded and fried, or added to soups and sautés. Young fruit is the most tender and flavorful. Growing guide: New to this variety?
