Zucchini, Midnight Lightning (Cucurbita pepo), packet of 10 seeds, organic

(1 customer review)

$2.95

Family:  Gourd (Cucurbitaceae)

Annual.  55 days to maturity.

Midnight Lightning is a bush zucchini that produces long, narrow fruits of exceptional flavor, colored very dark green, almost “midnight black.”  We found these to be fast-growing, insect and disease resistant and not very spiny (which is a nice feature when reaching in to clip off that first long thin zuk you’ve been hankering after all spring).  Sow seed about 1 inch deep in the spring or summer garden.  Space hills 3 to 5 feet apart.  Thin to 3 best seedlings per hill.  Plant produces long fruits that taste best when picked at early stage.

10 seeds/pkt., Certified Organically Grown

    Long Lasting Counter top Zuk!

    I’ve been using the same packet of these seeds for several years, just planting three seeds in one hill. 2023 season saw some superb zuks, including a couple that got overly large along about Sept. Curious as to how they would winter over – I left them on the counter in the kitchen. They were wiped off about once a week, just to dust off and turn over. I finally used them just last week – Feb. 2024! There was no mold/rot, the texture was just bit firmer and flesh was a little darker yellow, but delicious and made up into yummy casseroles and breads. I know other squashes can be stored like this, but Zuks – who knew! Ramona
