Squash Summer Scallop Early White is a prized heirloom patty pan variety with deep roots in Native American and early European gardening traditions. This non-GMO, high-yield cultivar produces vigorous bush plants that bear abundant 7-inch diameter fruits featuring distinctly scalloped edges and a fine pale green texture that matures to creamy white. The mild, sweet flavor makes it exceptionally versatile — perfect for frying, baking, steaming, grilling, or incorporating into breads and casseroles. Early maturity means you’ll harvest sooner in the season, while regular picking stimulates continuous production throughout summer and into fall. Ready to harvest in approximately 50–55 days.

Germination Rate: 85%. Test Date: 8/25. OSI.

Planting Tips for Success

• Sunlight: Full sun — at least 6–8 hours per day for optimal growth and fruit production.
• Soil: Rich, well-drained soil with a pH of 6.0–7.0. Amend with compost before planting.
• Planting: Direct sow after last frost when soil temps reach 60°F+. Plant seeds 1 inch deep, 2–3 per hill. Thin to the strongest plant once established.
• Spacing: Space bush plants 24–36 inches apart in rows 3–4 feet apart for good airflow.
• Watering: Water deeply at the base 1–2 times per week. Avoid wetting foliage to reduce powdery mildew risk.
• Fertilizing: Apply balanced fertilizer at planting; switch to low-nitrogen, phosphorus-rich formula once flowering begins.
• Pollination: Separate male and female flowers appear on the same plant. Hand-pollinate with a soft brush if needed.
• Harvesting: Pick fruits at 3–4 inches for best flavor and texture — do not allow to over-mature on the vine. Harvest every 2–3 days to maintain plant productivity.
