{"product_id":"costata-romanesco-summer-squash","title":"Costata Romanesco Zucchini (Heirloom 52 Days)","description":"\u003cp\u003eOld Italian heirloom. Fruits have attractive, flecked green-and-white skin and deep ribs. This zucchini is known for its fine eating quality- nutty flavor and great texture, cooked or raw. Harvest at 6- 8”; oversized fruits are great for stuffing. Semi-vining plants are larger and produce less than hybrids, definitely worth growing for the authentic heirloom flavor.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e20 seeds\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: rgb(50, 113, 56);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePLANTING\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eCucurbita pepo\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGermination:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4-10 days\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003eGermination Temperature: \u003c\/b\u003eOptimum soil temperatures 70-85\u003cb\u003eº\u003c\/b\u003eF\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeed Sowing Depth: \u003c\/strong\u003e1\/2-1\" deep\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSowing Indoors:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3-4 weeks before the last frost. Provide \u003cspan\u003e70-85\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eº\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003eF\u003c\/span\u003e soil temperature. \u003cspan\u003eSow 2-3 seeds per cell\/pot. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSowing into individual biodegradable peat\/cow pots reduces root \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003edamage when transplanting.
