Harris Seeds Squash Eight Ball F1 Zucchini
Best unique vegetable for home gardeners with limited growing space.
These round, speckled zucchinis turn the standard summer squash on its head with a distinctive look that’s as fun to grow as it is to eat. The open-bush habit makes harvesting a breeze, though you’ll sacrifice the traditional long shape for a compact, fast-maturing plant that’s ready in just six weeks.
