Summer Squash Recommendations/ Scallop vs Zucchini

[TheSeedObsesser]

Scallop squash it is then, thanks everyone!

Sam Bigdeer: Maybe try one of the French green striped white varieties? Some people get solid white squash from the plants and have trouble getting ones with green striping.

The French varieties are mostly the ones were I've read that they can be used as winter squash. Not sure if being able to be used as a winter squash applies to all scallop squash varieties or not, probably deserves some exploration.

Here we usually just saute summer squash with onions or use them in bread, we'll definitely try some of your suggestions.

@Sam BigDeer since you live in Florida, you can easily get shrimp, like I can. For the stuffed white squash, sauté some shrimp and add in the stuffing. If they are really big, cut them in smaller pieces.

You had mentioned cocozelle in your original post. I have grown them for the past two years and we love them. They have wonderful flavor. Not quite as prolific as zucchini but we'll worth it.

Both. Definitely both.

I always grow zucchini, love it. This year I'm also trying cocozelle squash and someone gave me some lemon squash too.
