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

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.
