Overview
Spineless Beauty is a Northrup King hybrid from 1986 (NVH 3773) that made harvesting zucchini pleasant: its leaf stalks are nearly free of the bristles that leave arms itchy and scratched. The plant is open and mounding, setting glossy, speckled medium green fruit that keeps its quality even at 6 to 8 inches, a bit larger than the usual picking size. It has no built-in mildew resistance, so in humid areas water at the base with drip irrigation and watch foliage during wet spells. Harvest every two to three days to keep the vigorous, heavy-yielding plant going. Direct sow after frost or start indoors 3 to 4 weeks early. Similar to Ambassador and Classic.
