What Makes Survival Garden Seeds Different - non-GMO heirloom seeds

Golden Crookneck Summer Squash Seeds produce a classic yellow summer squash known for its buttery flavor, tender texture, and distinctive curved neck. This reliable variety grows on compact, bush-style plants that fit well into home vegetable gardens while delivering consistently high yields. Thriving in full sun, Golden Crookneck squash rewards gardeners with generous harvests throughout the summer, even in less-than-ideal growing conditions.

High-Yielding, Compact Plants:

  • Bush growth habit with plants reaching approximately 3–4 feet wide and 2–3 feet tall
  • Produces abundant squash over a long harvest window
  • Well-suited for small gardens and efficient garden layouts

Mild Flavor and Culinary Versatility:

  • Tender flesh with a mild, slightly sweet, buttery flavor
  • Excellent for fresh eating, steaming, grilling, stir-frying, and baking
  • Edible squash blossoms with a delicate, nutty taste

Why Customers Love Golden Crookneck Squash Seeds:

  • Distinctive shape and bright yellow color
  • Consistently heavy yields
  • Compact plants that are easy to manage
  • Versatile in both fresh and cooked recipes

How to Grow Golden Crookneck Squash:
Sow seeds directly outdoors after the danger of frost has passed, once soil temperatures have warmed. Plant in full sun with fertile, well-drained soil. Water regularly and harvest frequently to encourage continuous production. Bush plants require less space than vining squash but benefit from good airflow.

Harvest & Use:
Harvest squash while young and tender for the best flavor and texture. Pick blossoms early in the day for stuffing, baking, or light frying, and harvest fruit often to maintain productivity.
