Zucchini Golden Squash Seed

Description

Not to be confused with yellow “summer squash”. This is actually zucchini, just of a different color. Slender, bright golden-yellow fruit that’s as delicious as is attractive! Compact bush-type plant. Distinctive zucchini flavor, too, perhaps a little sweeter than its dark-green cousin and is especially well suited for grilling, which caramelizes the natural sugars. Yum!
