Cucurbita Pepo seed SUMMER SQUASH
LATIN NAME: CUCURBITA PEPO
COMMON NAME: Summer Squash, Black Beauty Zucchini
The summer squash is a handsome, vigorous, sprawling, annual vine of the kitchen gardens, and its very large, broad, bristly leaves and its many large, yellow, trumpet-shaped flowers, followed by fine, tender, elongated or rounded fruits, have made it one of the most loved and most grown of the vegetables of the world. This Black Beauty zucchini strain has dark green skin with creamy white flesh, and it grows as a vigorous, sprawling, annual vine, reaching up to two metres or more, with long, sprawling, bristly stems bearing very large, broad, five-lobed, bristly leaves and, through the summer, many large, yellow, trumpet-shaped flowers, followed by fine, tender, elongated green fruits of many flat, white seeds. It is a species of the flowering vine in the gourd family, and it is the famous summer squash of the vegetable gardens, grown in the warm seasons of the world.
Scientific Research & Plant Biotechnology
The summer squash has a real and distinguished place in research. It has been studied in horticulture and plant breeding, since the fine, tender, elongated or rounded fruits of the summer squash have made it one of the most loved and most grown of the vegetables of the world, and the breeders have examined its growth, its fruit and its many varieties, while the breeding of the squash has drawn attention in the international agricultural press. The plant has also been studied in food science and nutrition, since the fine, tender fruits of the summer squash are rich in vitamins and valuable fibre, and researchers have examined the fruits and their composition, while the value of the squash in the fresh cooking of many lands has been of continuing interest across the world. The species has also been studied in botany and ecology, since it is a native of the warm regions of the Americas, and its relationships, its distribution and its spread across the world have been examined. For a vegetable of such fine value, the summer squash has a rich and continuing record of study.
Ecological & Economic Value & Wide Applications
To grow the Summer Squash from seed, ecologically, the summer squash is a generous plant of the garden. Its many large, yellow, trumpet-shaped flowers feed the bees and the many insects, and its very large, broad, leafy stems give a fine, green cover to the warm ground of the kitchen garden. Its economic value is real: the summer squash is prized for its fine, tender, elongated or rounded fruits, and its value has drawn attention in the international agricultural press, while its fine, tender fruits have been used in the fresh cooking, the fine dishes and the kitchens of many lands. To bring the summer squash on, sow the large, flat seeds in pots of moist, free-draining compost about a centimetre deep, keep them gently watered in a sunny, sheltered place, and grow the little vines on steadily.
