Zucchetta is an heirloom climbing summer squash popular throughout Italy. Firmer than zucchini, its flavor is mild and delicious. The zucchetta plant is extremely prolific, requiring a lot of room for its 15’ runners. My first introduction to Zucchetta was at work, when a drug rep gave out seed packets instead of the usual pens and note pads.
Lovely blooms! And I love squash! How widely available is the zuchetta?
I saw several places to buy zucchetta seeds online. (also called tromboncino) I got my seeds a while ago and using only 2 or 3 a year, still have some left.
Great! I’ll have to check into it sometime.
