Maturing in just 50–55 days, this fast-growing and high-yielding variety is a top choice for gardeners seeking early and plentiful harvests.

Getting to know your Early Golden Crookneck Squash

Early Golden Crookneck Squash is the kind of plant that rolls up its leaves, gets to work, and feeds you before summer’s even in full swing. With its signature curvy neck, sunshine-yellow skin, and buttery flavor, it’s the southern sweetheart of the squash world—equal parts fast, flashy, and delicious.

In the garden, Early Golden Crookneck is a giver. It loves full sun, fertile soil, and plenty of space to sprawl. The plants are bushy rather than vining, so they’re great for raised beds and container gardens, though they still need room to breathe. Bees absolutely adore the big golden flowers, and some gardeners even harvest the blossoms for cooking (stuffed squash blossoms, anyone?).

Ultimately, Early Golden Crookneck Squash is the dependable summer friend who shows up early, feeds everyone, and leaves before frost ever hits. A classic garden staple with a little twist—literally.
