Early Prolific Yellow Straightneck Squash Seeds – Heirloom Summer Squash 

Early Prolific Yellow Straightneck Squash is a classic heirloom summer squash known for its bright yellow color, smooth straight neck fruits, and dependable early harvests. This productive variety grows on compact bush plants and produces abundant tender squash with mild flavor and smooth skin, making it a staple in home vegetable gardens.

Fast-growing plants begin producing early in the season and continue yielding throughout the summer with frequent harvesting. The compact bush habit makes this variety easy to manage in traditional garden beds and raised beds while still producing impressive harvests.

The tender yellow fruits are best picked young when skins are smooth and glossy. Their mild, slightly sweet flavor makes them ideal for sautéing, grilling, roasting, casseroles, and classic summer squash dishes.
