    Hi All,

    Time to reorder seeds.

    Between this year and last year has anyone found
    a squash bug resistant zucchini?

    Many thanks,

    After considerable research, the answer is "no".
    I am just going to buy them from the store
    this season. They don't taste as good, but ...

    i've mentioned Tromboncino squash before but they
    are not a bush or small plant as they will sprawl
    and climb.

    i've not grown them myself yet, but i hope to this
    year. we'll see if i can get seeds and then find
    enough room for them. zukes have not ever been a
    priority here. so they may not really be worth it
    for me to grow or take up that much space.

    as for how well they'll do in an arid environment
    with higher temperatures i can't say.

    good luck! :)

    They require a trellis. We have very high winds
    and it would blow over.

    Maybe next year if you say you have good luck
    with them. And they don't taste like hell.
