Subject: [market-farming] patty pan size
I can't keep up and have been harvesting many close to softball
> size. Is this a real mistake as far as eating quality.
I have grown Sunburst patty pans for several years now. They should never
get bigger than a coffee cup (some say teacup)size for optimum eating
quality. I put some in my CSA shares that were larger than that and I don't
recall anyone complaining. One thing I am slowly learning which probably
applies to any kind of summer squash -- plant half as much as you think you
are going to need and that should be about double what you are really going
to need ;>).
