From another source (I didn’t keep the link, daggone it): “the summer squash called variously zuchetta tromboncino rampicante, zuchetta, or tromboncino is an extremely vigorous vine that bears delicious zucchini-like fruit, and in my experience is totally resistant to squash bugs. The last 3 years my Zucc’s have been totally destroyed by squash bugs but year after year they don’t seem to touch zuchetta tromboncino rampicante. Taste great, keeps a long time too. Good fence climber.”

This almost sounds too good to be true ... but I’m certainly willing to give it a try - can’t be any worse than what happened this year (no squash!).

I listed three places (three different posts) to get the squash seeds. I will surely try them for damn sure.
