Summer Squash

Here's a colorful trio of specialty squashes that will generate a lot of conversation with your customers:

Eight Ball

Eight Ball: A 1999 All-America Selections winner, Eight Ball is a small, dark-green, shiny, round zucchini with a long picking period.

Geode

Geode: A Johnny's exclusive, Geode is the light green counterpart to Eight Ball. It is an improvement over the old Ronde de Nice variety in uniformity and ease of harvesting.
