Early Prolific Straightneck Squash

Early Prolific Straightneck lives up to its name, producing an abundant crop of straight, zucchini-like summer squash. The creamy yellow fruits are tender, buttery, and entirely edible with fewer seeds than most varieties, and the plant tolerates heat and moderate drought to keep yielding late into the season.
