Summer Crookneck Squash – The "Heirloom Classic" for Distinctive Shape and Unbeatable Buttery Texture
Shop the highest quality Summer Crookneck Squash seeds for the variety that has graced American dinner tables since colonial times. When it comes to flavor and texture, Summer Crookneck is the "Vintage Favorite." It is famous for its curved neck and bumpy, bright-yellow skin that hides a sweet, fine-grained flesh. At The Seed Guy, we believe we aren't just selling seeds; we are selling the Saturday morning in the garden with the grandkids, the nostalgia of a traditional farmhouse garden, and the pride of a "Blue Ribbon" harvest that is as beautiful to look at as it is to eat.
In the garden, Summer Crookneck is a hardy, bush-type plant that produces a massive amount of fruit over a long season. This variety is the premier choice for anyone who wants to "get your fry on"—offering a rich, buttery flavor that is legendary in southern cooking. It is a fantastic companion plant for beans and catnip, which helps protect the plant from squash bugs.

Summer Crookneck Squash Planting Instructions:
1. When to Plant: Direct sow in the garden after all danger of frost has passed and the soil is at least 70°F.
2. Preparation: Use a sunny spot with soil that has been amended with compost. Like all squash, Crookneck is a heavy feeder and loves a nutrient-dense home.
3. Sowing: Plant 3 seeds per hill, 1 inch deep. Thin to one plant per hill. If you have limited space, these do very well in large 5-gallon containers.
4. Care: Consistent moisture is key. Water deeply at the base of the plant to avoid splashing the leaves. As the plant grows, you may need to give it a little extra "boost" of organic fertilizer.
5. Pests and Diseases: Squash Vine Borers can be an issue; planting a few weeks later in the season can sometimes help avoid their egg-laying cycle. Harvest when the fruits are 5-6 inches long.
