About This
- Award-Winning Heirloom Reliability: Winner of the All-America Selections award in 1938, Early Prolific has earned its reputation for dependable yields, early maturity, and excellent flavor. It remains a staple in home gardens for its proven performance and adaptability.
- Tender, Fine-Grained Flesh: The creamy yellow interior offers a firm yet tender bite that holds up well to frying, baking, and sautéing. Perfect for fresh summer dishes, soups, pastas, and stir-fries, it brings both substance and flavor to the plate.
- Best Flavor at Smaller Sizes: While fruits can reach up to 14 inches long, the best taste and texture come when harvested at 4 to 7 inches. Early harvesting also promotes more consistent yields throughout the season.
- Open-Pollinated & Seed Saver Friendly: As an open-pollinated, monecious variety, this squash produces seed that grows true to type. It doesn’t require a second plant for pollination, but nearby pollinator-friendly flowers can help maximize productivity.
- Easy to Grow, High-Yielding Plants: Direct sow into warm, well-drained, organically rich soil in full sun after the last frost. Thin plants to allow air circulation, harvest frequently to boost output, and enjoy an extended season of high-quality summer squash.
