This Squash Is BETTER Than Zucchini...And Nobody Grows It!

Do you struggle growing squash plants because of squash bugs, vine borers, diseases and heat? What if there was a squash plant that is easy to grow, is vine borer resistant, eats like a summer squash when young, tastes like a winter squash when mature, can be stored for months, trellises like a dream and produces tons of fruit? There is! It's called Zucchino Rampicante, also known as Tromboncino Squash or Tromboncino Rampicante. This Italian heirloom squash is the toughest squash vine I've ever grown! Now that I've grown and tasted it, I think this squash is better than zucchini, and what's crazy is almost nobody grows it! You must try growing this in your garden. I also show you how to cook this amazing squash.
