As every farmer's market vendor knows, the true Yellow Crookneck is in demand, and knowledgeable customers won't settle for less. The creamy texture and sweet flavor of these has been a summer tradition for well over a century. My mom, who grew up in Virgina, called them "Cymblins" and served them mashed with cream, salt, and pepper--a summer treat we looked forward to every year. The newer, smoother, straighter hybrids are invariably disappointing. But while hybrids have displaced these tasty heirlooms in the grocery store and at high-production farms, you can still have them in your own garden. Like all summer squash, they are best picked young. 20 seeds
