Early Golden Crookneck has curved, warted yellow fruits with creamy flesh and a buttery flavor that’s been loved since the 1700s. Bush plants bear early and heavily if you keep them picked small. Grill slices, pan‑fry, or bake into casseroles. Blossoms are edible. Direct sow after frost, mulch to retain moisture, and watch for squash vine borers. History, productivity, and flavor—this old crookneck still earns garden space.

How to Grow

Plant seeds directly in the garden 1-2 weeks after average last frost date. Sow 3-5 seeds per hill, thinning to a final 2-3 plants per hill. Space between hills should be 3-6'. Optimum soil temperature for seed germination is 65-85 degrees. Or, start seed indoors 3-4 weeks before transplanting into the garden. Transplant to the garden 2 to 3 weeks after your average last frost. Squash grow best in a warm site with full sun. Warm soil is essential to good seed germination and emergence. Using transplants can speed production.
