That's not at all true... there are plenty of summer squash that grows
huge... just not normally seen in other than ethnic markets where it's
sold in chunks by weight... but an awful lot is grown in home gardens.
I haven't grown it in a while because it takes over but zuchinni longo
is one of my favorites... can easily grow 6' long and with a 6"
diameter. A couple of years ago I grew patty pans that weighed about
5 pounds each.
