50 days to harvest Cucurbita pepo

Where do we begin? The flavor, the story, the abundance or the near spinelessness?

If you’re ready for the long story, dive in on our blog. If you don’t have time for it all, know this: We are so thankful for the countless generations of humans and plants co-evolving to lay the foundation for Fruition to collaborate with Norwich Meadows Farm (regional and organic!) and a land-grant university to co-create the most flavorful zucchini we’ve ever eaten. Imagine exceptional nuttiness with a creamy density that melts in your mouth — you won’t be tossing these in neighbor’s mailboxes, we suspect.

    Early production which is lovely but even more impressive is the flavor. When grilled it almost has a “mushroomy” flavor! Absolutely delicious.

    Produced well, even in the drought. Contrary to the picture, they will grow quite large if you leave them (or miss them) for an extra day or two. Good flavor, with more mature zukes gaining a light seafood flavor.

    Wish I could post a pic. Haifa is still producing beautiful flowers and delicious fruit in mid-September! It has become my new favorite zucchini. This growing season was so hot and dry that my garden was not very productive. This one held its own very well.

    It’s mid October here in The Finger Lakes, but there are still a few fruit on the vine (albeit, they are smaller at this time of year than they were earlier). We started with three plants, but over time we lost two to the dreaded vine borer; nevertheless, we have harvested nearly 20lbs of these lovely and delicious Cousa squashes so far this season – definitely a favorite and will be forever in our gardens!
