Here's an additional vegetable variety to make your summer garden lively. The Straightneck Squash not only brings healthy produce but also a delightful planting and harvest experience.
Cucurbita pepo recticollis, commonly known as the Straightneck Squash, is a popular and versatile vegetable in outdoor gardens. This plant bears sunny yellow fruits that are pretty appealing to harvest, and you can use them as an ingredient for sautee, stir-fry, or salads.
Like many plants of that genus, the annual Straightneck Squash has green, bristled leaves and upright and bushy growth habits. It can grow up to 3 feet (36 inches) above ground, and the leaves are green and bristled.
