Crookneck
This is my favorite summer squash. It is fabulous sliced and sauteed with sweet onions, butter, garlic salt and pepper. Another fun way to prepare it is to sliced it, steam it, mash it and stir in cream, salt, pepper and a dash of sugar. Yum!
Gadzukes
This is a fun summer squash to grow. It is very much like a zucchini in flavor, only instead of a smooth dark green skin, it is bright greet and has scalloped edges. It you like summer squash raw with a dip, this variety is a perfect choice.
Gold Rush
Gold Rush is like a golden skinned zuchinni. I prefer it over a green zucchini. The flesh is a bit sweeter and denser. You can tell the difference between it and a straight neck crook as it has a green stem. This variety is a fun choice to add color to a regular sauteed zucchini dish.
PattyPan
Patty Pan squash come in several different colors and varieties. We grow white, green tint, yellow and bicolor. They taste very similar to a crookneck.
Romanesco
This variety is from Italy. It has a creamy sweet flesh. the fruit is striped green and has scalloped ridges. If you want a stand alone dish this is a better choice over standard zucchini. . It looks like a rounded flattened Delicata. It is very attractive to decorate with, and then eat it when you are done!
Zucchini
Zucchini is a stand by for summer squash garden production. It amazing how prolific they are, and how large the fruit can be. I prefer zucchini as an addition to a summer squash medley and not as a stand alonedish. The addition of zucchini to breads and cakes produces a fabulously moist dessert. They are also excellent stuffed with your favorite meatloaf mix.
