Zucchini
Family: Curcurbitaceae
Also known as courgettes, these thin-skinned summer squash have few calories and many uses in the kitchen. Excellent as a moisturizer in cake batters, the firm flesh can also be added to pasta sauces, marinated and grilled on the barbecue, baked, broiled or fried. Cubed zucchini makes an outstanding addition to summer soups, and is an essential ingredient in Ratatouille. Pick the fruits when they are under 20cm (8") long, while the flesh and seeds are still tender, or pick them very small with the flower buds still attached for an interesting sauteed side dish. Zucchinis are a useful source of folate, potassium, manganese and vitamin A.
Amatista Grey
An upright bush that produces classic grey type zucchinis that are easy to spot and easy to pick. Grey-green skinned fruits are held aloft against a dark green stem, making this an attractive, as well as productive plant. This variety is somewhat resistant to yellow mosaic virus and powdery mildew. Grows to 90cm (36") tall with fruits weighing less than 500g (1 lb).

Ambassador
Replaces Spacemiser. The plants of Ambassador are quite unique: they have a central stem with flowers and then fruit marching up it until it starts to topple over. Definitely not a vine and very space efficient! The zucchini are mid green and easy to see and pick. Keep them picked regularly and they will produce all summer.

Ronde de Nice
A round French heirloom zucchini, grown for generations. The succulent, tender flesh is at its peak while the fruits are still less than 7.5cm (3") in diameter, or grow the fruits on to be hollowed out and stuffed for an interesting summer side dish. The flesh of this zucchini is so tender that the fruits are prone to bruising, which is why it doesn't turn up in grocery stores. It is however, perfect for the home vegetable garden.
