Matures in 60 Days

An Italian delicacy, Cucuzzi is a summer squash that is prepared in the same way as other summer squashes. The flesh of young fruits is thick, tender, and of exceptional flavor. Fruits left on the vine to mature will be a distinct novelty in the garden.

SOWING:
Sow seed in the spring when the ground is warm and all danger of frost is past. Plant 3 to 4 seeds 1 inch deep in hills that are spaced 2 feet apart in rows 6 to 8 feet apart.

THINNING:
When plants are 2 inches tall, thin leaving the strongest plants in each hill.

GERMINATION:
10 to 14 days depending on soil and weather conditions.

REMARKS:
Well-rotted manure mixed into the bottom of each hill will stimulate growth and increase yield considerably.
