I bought six transplants of green zucchini and they all grew wonderful but in the six transplants one plant is producing white or albino zucchini. All plants look exactly the same. So how can I tell if the white one is a white one or an albino of the green? Or are they the same thing. If it is a white italian or a bianco what do I do with it. I am in Eastern Canada if that makes a difference I don't know. Thanks Hi from Eastern Canada,

An early courgette which is almost perfectly spherical. Most of the round courgettes available are very pale , but these are a nice glossy dark green colour. Definitely worth a try if you fancy something a little bit different. Hope you like, <a href="http://lortosulbalcone.splinder.com/" rel="nofollow">Mallo2011</A> Hi from Italy,

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.
