Squash Horn of Plenty Hybrid
Huge yields from this "semi-crookneck.
The yields on this vigorous, single-stemmed bush plant are ENORMOUS, satisfying even the most squash-hungry gardener! The fruit is a very pale yellow, with just a bit of a crook in its neck (can we call this a "crickneck"?!) and a warty, homegrown texture that seems to add to the flavor. Very mild, sweet, and succulent, this is how squash used to taste before the refrigerated trucks got a hold of it.
And if you're looking to save a bit of space in the garden, the habit of this squash will delight you. The fruit arises on a single stem, very abundant and yet occupying less room in the veggie patch than most varieties. You'll pick many armloads of 6-inch-long, 4-inch-diameter fruit before the season is out from this super high-yielding plants.
If you liked Dixie Hybrid, Horn of Plenty is better in just about every way. Give this "crickneck" a go in the garden this season, and we know you'll be back for plenty more next year! Packet is 20 seeds.
