Tempest Organic Yellow Summer Squash Seeds

Golden yellow, ribbed crookneck fruit forming on open, bushy plants with broad green leaves.

Tempest is a crookneck-type summer squash that produces steadily through the season, offering vibrant, firm-textured fruit for garden beds, containers, and vegetable gardens.

What You'll Use It For

A strong pick when summer squash starts coming in and you want something that holds up.

• Harvesting bright yellow squash throughout the season
• Growing a steady crop for grilling, roasting, and everyday cooking
• Adding color and variety to garden beds and containers
• Picking young fruit for better texture and flavor
• Keeping production going with regular harvesting

Why Lazy Leaf Loves It

This one stands out once it hits the kitchen. It keeps its texture and color, even with higher heat cooking, which isn't always the case with summer squash.

The more open growth and softer spines make harvesting easier, and it keeps producing if you stay on top of picking. It's a dependable plant when you want consistent quality through the season.
