Peter Pan is what I used to bait the rat traps, but that’s another thread. Patty Pan is a scalloped shaped summer squash. This year, it has been far and away the most successful variety we’ve grown. The Prolific Straight Neck variety wasn’t. The zucchini never really showed up. The Spaghetti Squash went out for pasta and the Hubbard was more like Old Mother Hubbard. Only the Butternut offered real competition to the Patty Pan, but the little Pans have come out victorious.
We’ve grown them before, with various degrees of success, but this year they have been splendid. They have been outstanding in number, size, quality and taste. If you have not grown any of these little beauties, you really should give it a try.
How do you cook them and are they similar in taste to the yellow and zucchini. If you have an extra one I’d love to try it. Are you selling your eggs? I would love to buy a dozen of them also.
You cook them like any other summer squash. I’ll bring to Church for you on Sunday.
We don’t have any eggs right now. In this heat wave our hens are moulting and not laying. We’re only getting two or three eggs a day. They will pick back up in a few weeks.
Would you mind if I borrowed your picture of the patty pan squash for a blog I am writing for?
Use it to your heart’s content. Thanks for getting in tough.
