Parthenocarpic Squash
Anyone have any experience with parthenocarpic squash? I grew Nimba last year and had many fruit that were not pollinated properly and went to mush on the vine. I thought about trying this variety below from Vermont Bean.
Perfect Pick Hybrid Squash This unique squash is parthenocarpic, which means it needs no pollination to set fruits and therefore can be nearly seedless. Flesh is almost pure white with excellent flavor. Optimum size for picking is 6 to 8 inches long, but can be used when grown up to 12 inches
