I agree George. When I plant summer squashes I plant 25 of each variety,
including zucchini. I'm usually lucky enough to harvest half a dozen baby
zucchini, 3 or 4 yellow crookneck and 1 patty pan before they get frost killed.
If the constata romanesco is so agressive perhaps it would grow here quickly
even with our cool nights.
