Best Zucchini Seed…EVER

Organic Costata Romaesco!!!   This seed makes the giant-est zukes ever.  And they taste fabulous.  Here’s the description that sold me:

Open-pollinated. According to Will Bonsall, “the only summer squash worth bothering with, unless you’re just thirsty.” Deeply striped and ribbed, Costata resembles Cocozelle, with a distinctive sweet mildly nutty flavor. Also a productive source for tasty male squash blossoms. Tender skin damages easily, a liability for commercial transport. If you want to win the blue ribbon for largest summer squash at your fair, grow Costata. It reaches 20 lb. in a good year. “When we have a difficult squash year, the Costata is the one to yield,” concludes Debby Roland of N. Chittenden, VT. Supplies limited. 95% germination. CO-certified.

We had zucchini fritters THREE nights this week already!

I was gifted, nay, blessed with a couple of ginormous zucchini yesterday. I had to force myself to stop from eating a whole one by myself last night (a little olive oil, a little balsamic vinegar, a little Italian seasoning, you get the idea). I lurve zucchini (don’t tell the patty pan, it may get jealous).
So I guess I would need about a half a dozen of these to last 3 days…sigh…
