This bush type of squash is great for small gardens, or for permacultural inter-planting. It is a variety that has been with us since its introduction in about 1863. Matures within 45 days, and is a very good producer with good disease resistance. Can be eaten fresh or cooked, just like any zucchini, and makes a pretty good cake, too. In Italy they are picked and eaten when they are quite small still, maybe a little large than your finger, however they are still delicious when you allow them to grow larger (but please do not let them get so giant - as no zucchini is good then).
