I hope others will respond to this question. I have never heard of a Coosa squash. Can you describe it?

Magda is excellent, but side by side I prefer Clarimore. Ther are a quite a few cultivars out there, but are only available in commercial quantities. Flavor and texture is not appreciably different between these two. Clarimore produces a bitmore and I like the slender long shape.

Thank you farmerdilla. I knew you would answer. You have such a wealth of knowledge about sqash.

donna, I am not a squash connoisseur, I just know that these squashes were such a nice tasty vegetable. Coosas are also C. pepo like zucchini and other summer squash. Just a few genes make them taste different I guess. I am giving a few links that describe the taste of Magda, which is not what came to my mind, but I loved the taste.

I hope others comment on their experience with Coosa type squash.

I have to say my Magda plants bear unbelievably fast and profusely.

donna, try and grow some. You might even want to try some now.

Hoping someone else will comment

I planted a bunch of clarimore and haven't tasted them before- now I'm excited :)

I'm actually very fond of sunburst, they taste great very lightly sauteed or even eaten raw IMO.

canuckistani, I am excited that you are trying this type too. I hope you report back what you thought of the Coosa type. I will wager that you find it special. Where did you get Clarimore seeds?

farmerdilla, where did you get clarimore seeds? I read that clarimore is the same as Burpee's Sweet Gormet Hybrid. Is this true?

I got my seeds from William Dam seeds, which is based in Ontario Canada.

I get them from Twilley http://www.twilleyseed.com/. It is a hybrid as is Magda. There are open pollinated Coosas ( usually listed as Lebanese zucchini). Botanical Interests sells Clarinette http://www.botanicalinterests.com/store/search_results_detail.php?seedtype=V&seedid=506

Thank you guys. I am definitely going to try Clarimore next year side by side with Magda.

I just saw seeds for this variety at Park Seeds. It certainly looks interesting to me. I like the yummy flavor description.
