Squash, Summer: Black Beauty

The classic dark-green summer squash has made modern zucchini of this type popular. Introduced into the U.S. markets in the 1920s, and seed companies started listing it in the 1930s. Delicious fried or baked; best picked young. One of the most productive crops to ever find its way into the home garden.
