Golden Crookneck Squash

Golden Crookneck is the staple of the summer squash universe. It yields small squashes for weeks as long as you keep harvesting them when young. Each little fruit has a delightful little curve to its skinny neck, followed by a swollen body. Tasty and versatile in the kitchen, these squash become a bit less pleasant after reaching 6-8 inches in length; by 10-12 inches they should be quickly removed and composted.
