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

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
