I seem to get many times more robust production from mine than from seed of similar varieties from the various well-regarded heirloom seed sources.

Oooo. What does the Italian Rugosa Butternut taste like as a summer squash?? At what size do you pick it? I know that all winter squashes can be picked and eaten immature, but many don't have the production and flavor to really serve as summer squash crops. If Butternut Rugosa is an exception, I will be thrilled!
