Good producer
by Mary
I love this squash. It produces pretty straight squashes, which I like. And it keeps producing for a long time. Be sure to harvest them small... they taste best that way.
GMO, No!!
by LKP
Not happy I purchased this vegetable, but my fault. The description clearly says "bred from genetic material". Should have known with it being Burpee brand. I do not like GMO`s very unhealthy.
I'll read well next time, but I didn't expect to see GM seeds here.
Seed Savers Exchange: None of the varieties offed in the Seed Savers Exchange catalog or on the SSE website are GMO. We only offer Non-GMO, untreated, and Non- Hybrid seed.
GMO, No!!
by LPK
Disappointed in this purchase, but didn't read the description that its actually GMO. This is the second time trying to leave feedback on these seeds. Very surprising to see you selling such products that are of this nature, but more shocked that you changed the description and removed that they are GMO.
Seed Savers Response: None of the varieties offered in the catalog or on the SSE website are GMO. The description was changed to provide more clarity and better describe this particular variety to prevent any more confusion. The original line read introduced in1973 by W. Atlee Burpee of Philadelphia, bred from genetic material supplied by Dr. Oved Shifress.
Great flavor
by Mike P
Good flavor, dependable producer, and my favorite to roast on the grill.
The best zucchini variety I have found
by Sandy B.
I've grown Golden Zucchini for many years, and tried many other varieties but this remains my favorite. The seeds seem to be getting harder to find so I'm very happy that SSE continues to offer them. I find the golden color much more appealing than the usual green zucchini when used in most recipes. In my garden in the Michigan Upper Peninsula it continues to produce right through September and into October, until we get a freeze.
my favorite summer squash
by SARA
This is a terrific summer squash. Nice, firm texture like zucchini, but easy to spot like yellow crooknecks. I prefer to pick when medium size - around 8 or 9 inches. Very productive plant. I always hand pollinate, just to make sure.
