5 out of 5 (Overall Rating) What a performance!, July 29, 2008 Submitted by dutchessgardens from Hyde Park, New York "This was my first year growing this squash and it really impressed me. Tons of fruit (I only planted four plants and got at least 25 squash). The squash was also very large for a compact plant - mine averaged 10 to 12 inches. No problems with disease and very little maintenance in my garden."

5 out of 5 (Overall Rating) Super Sweet Gourmet, May 22, 2008 Submitted by hungarianharvester from Southern New Jersey "What can I say? I just sowed these seeds for the third year in a row. Not only are they the most proliflict summer squash I have ever grown but the taste is superb! I average 15 to 25 fruit per plant. I harvest from late June until September. If you like them fried, baked, steamed or grilled they are perfect! They are excellent for zuchini bread as well. For my money ten times better then the standard dark green zuke. I grow many vegetables and fruit. I love them all. If I had to only choose one to grow for the rest of my life it would be the sweet gourmet summer squash. Hands down the best....."

5 out of 5 (Overall Rating) oExcellent small-garden choice, February 18, 2008 Submitted by Mater from Goleta, CA "This little butternut is perfect for small families and small gardens. The fruit is very tasty and one squash is just the right serving size for two people. For me, each plant yields two to four fruits with deep orange flesh and small seed cavity. I can get five plants in a 10' row, so that's plenty for winter storage for us. We live in a cool coastal community 3 miles from the beach with a fair amount of summer fog and this Butternut has better resistance to mildew than the larger Waltham varieties. Highly recommended!"

5 out of 5 (Overall Rating) You will need a break!, October 27, 2007 Submitted by Tut3d from Ellicott City, MD "Planted one packet of seeds, and the squirrels and ground hogs got all but five plants. Thank goodness they did, because my family has been eating squash almost every night for five months. Our neighbors will not take anymore, and our families are planning an intervention!! We recently left for a week out west, and had picked the plants clean, returned to find a dozen fully ripe fruits on just the two remaining plants. These are amazingly prolific, wonderfully tasty and offer a true sense of what it means to grow your own. No more paying $2.00 a pound for small, scraggly, bruised squash at the supermarket. Try these and you will never buy squash again."

5 out of 5 (Overall Rating) Great little squashes!, September 3, 2007 Submitted by migardener "I'm a "one-woman show" and planted only one hill of these little guys. They have provided me with plenty of squash for the table. I love them steamed with a little bit of garlic butter and salt. The squash vine borers didn't attack them either. Will plant again next year."

5 out of 5 (Overall Rating) Very unusual zucchini, July 18, 2007 Submitted by gardenerinpa from Southwestern PA "I bought the Roly Poly seeds mostly because they were so unusual. Nobody I have told them about has ever heard of a round zucchini! I have stuffed them; they hold their shape well even after parboiling, and such a cute presentation. I have also sliced them and then breaded/baked them for a healthier take on fried zucchini. They are also delicious that way. Pick when small for best flavor, just like any other zucchini. Another way I have used them is shredded and in baked goods. To my mind, baking with zucchini is the absolute BEST way to use them!"
