From Our Gardeners
"Ronde De Nice is a charming summer squash variety recognized for its small, round shape and creamy pale yellow skin with subtle green stripes. It grows on bushy, compact plants that perform well in warm, sunny gardens and produce fruit reliably throughout summer. This squash matures fairly quickly, usually ready to harvest about 50 to 60 days after planting, making it a great option for gardeners looking for an early and steady supply of fresh squash. The flesh of Ronde De Nice is tender and sweet with a delicate flavor that is less watery than some other summer squashes, making it perfect for roasting, grilling, or stuffing. Its thin skin is edible and soft when cooked, so peeling isn’t necessary. The plant thrives in well-drained soil with consistent moisture, which helps prevent bitterness and keeps the fruit juicy. The bright yellow flowers attract pollinators like bees, supporting good fruit set during the growing season. Because it is a summer squash, Ronde De Nice should be picked when the fruits are small and tender for the best flavor and texture. It's unique round shape and versatile flavor make it a favorite among home gardeners and chefs, who appreciate its suitability for a variety of fresh and cooked dishes throughout the summer months."
