I want to plant another this year. It was either a Lungo Bianco or a Bianco. Where can I find either a plant or seeds for it?

No you probably won't find Lungo Bianco for sale at a local seed distributor. I purchased my seeds from "<a href="http://www.growitalian.com/" rel="nofollow">Seeds From Italy</a>," which offers a large selection of imported gourmet vegetable seeds. I haven't noticed any problems or increased incidence of disease when growing these zucchini varieties. Also, I haven't seen a single squash bug on these zucchinis this year, but I think that is because I waited until later in the season to plant my summer squash out into the garden.

Our zucchini is just the boring green kind. I want to try the Lungo Bianco di Sicilia. Can you find the seeds at the normal seed companies or only at a specialty site? Have you noticed any different insect or disease tendency with it, or does it have the same resistance as traditional varieties? Thanks for sharing this. I love zucchini when it is picked small.
