Tempest Organic Yellow Summer Squash brings standout eating quality to the classic yellow crookneck. Fruits are a rich golden yellow with distinctive ridges and subtle striping, best harvested young for the firm, buttery texture this variety is known for.

In the kitchen, Tempest holds its shape and color through all kinds of cooking — grilling, roasting, braising, even pickling — which makes it an easy favorite when summer squash starts coming in fast. Plants have a more open habit and softer spines for easier harvesting.

Note: This variety carries the precocious yellow gene, which can cause some yellowing in the leaves that may look like virus symptoms. It's normal, and plants grow and perform as expected.

For the most consistent quality, harvest often and consider succession plantings every 2–3 weeks.

How to Sow

  1. Direct sow after the last frost.

  2. Sow seeds 1 inch deep in fertile, well-draining soil.

  3. Provide full sun for best growth.

  4. Space plants 18–24 inches apart in rows 6 feet apart.

  5. Harvest young at 4–6 inches for the best flavor and texture.
