The bright yellow ones are easy to find.  I'm growing
Sunburst Hybrid (bright yellow pattypan squash) this year,
and it's just gorgeous - a really bright, rich color, easy
to spot.  Very appealing little squashes!   I really like
this one.

I'm also growing Ronde de Nice zucchini (not as easy to
spot):  round, pale green zucchinis.  Something a bit
different, and excellent for stuffing.

I think you could ask more per pound for the 'gourmet' and
unusual varieties like these, thereby making up the
difference in poundage between the baby squashes and larger
ones.

I think that's what this list is for.  If we don't ask, we
don't learn, right?  <grin>  BTW, I'm happy to have a good
resource in this list (thanks again, Liz!). 

Cheers,
Pat
