50 days to harvest Cucurbita pepo

HEIRLOOM We love Cocozelle Zucchini’s light green stripes on the classic Italian green zucchini, evidence of Costata Romanesco in her parentage. As a result, Cocozelle’s flavor soars above average and Friends, we’ve been saving seeds for nearly a decade of the plants that have the fewest spines and the most open architecture, making her abundant harvest that much more joyful for everyone involved!

Would you love to receive these seeds? Rather than selling and shipping, we share seeds as an embodied gift practice.
