August 01, 2009By NewinVA from Northern VA "This is my first year with a full vegetable garden and the reviews seemed good on this collection. Well, the plants certainly lived up to the expectation!

I have tried Jade Cross, Long Island Improved, and Tasty Nuggets. Tasty Nuggets far surpasses the others for size and taste. The plants are five to five and a half feet tall with loads of large sprouts. I have been harvesting for about 12 weeks and are still going strong at the end of October. I will definitely plant Tasty Nuggets again next year." Read all reviews at Burpee - 6 days ago

August 16, 2007By wilbar from Clayton "Normally I plant seedlings. This year I tried starting from seed and could not be happier with the results. I used two different methods.For the first , I bought two big pots and threw a handfull of seeds into each one.I had many sprouts but they were overcrowded.They grew so big that I used them ornamentally. As for the second,I germinated single seeds.Then I planted them two feet apart in the garden. The single plants each grew to be bigger than the entire pots of Basil,far exceeding my expectations.

We have grown it for 3 years now and it has never failed to produce massive amounts of delicious zucchini. It keeps well and doesn't turn to mush when cooked. The plants are extremely healthy and produce more than you can eat in full sun. The blossoms are huge and the neighbors have stopped by to ask what we are growing. We have kept the neighborhood well-supplied with zucchini. I highly recommend this zucchini!" Read all reviews at Burpee - 6 days ago
