This is my favorite zucchini to grow. I really like the flavor, which is mild, and the seeds tend to stay small. It is not as prolific as regular zucchini and I think that is a good thing! Starts out very robust but does tend to succumb to powdery mildew late in the season, but all the squash here get that by Sept or Oct. My garden is in the San Francisco Bay Area, warm-ish days, cool nights, no rain, drip irrigation. I would give it 5 stars if it resisted the powdery mildew a bit more.
