Liberty Garden Zucchini (Black Beauty) 2.75 g

A summer squash borne on dwarf bush vines, yielding a plentiful supply throughout the summer. Fruits are cylindrical, long, smooth, dark-green black; flesh greenish white at eating stage and of good flavor. Heirloom variety.

Culture: Requires very rich soil as squash is a voracious feeder. Sow 6-8 seeds in groups (hills) 3'-4' (90-120 cm) apart. Thin to 2-3 plants per group. Water regularly from time of flowering until fruits ripen.

Harvest: 50-60 days, yield is very good, keep plants picked which promotes more fruit. Best when picked young.

Suggestion: Cook with tomato and onions or by itself smothered in tomato sauce. Can be used to make Zucchini Bread.
