The vine is quite compact, reaching just 4 feet long or so, and easy to train up a fence or other sturdy support if your garden is space-challenged. Versatile, easy—and did we mention that Bossa Nova is resistant to both watermelon mosaic virus and zucchini yellow mosaic virus?

If you've never tried this type of squash before, you may find it similar to cocozelles, the Italian heirloom zuke: rich, meaty, satisfying, and a little more distinctive in flavor than our traditional American dark green types.

And if you live in a hot-summer climate, all the better -- Partenon is specially adapted to produce well in high-heat temperatures where others flounder. Big yields, tender-sweet fruit, open plant habit for easy harvest . . . what's not to love about Partenon?!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  Partenon takes its name from its nature: it is a parthenocarpic, or self-pollinating, variety, much like a seedless watermelon. It has very few seeds, and what it does have are soft and small. But the real differences are its ability to grow under adverse conditions, its resistance to cucumber beetles (a big pest for other zucchini varieties), and its longer freshness after harvest. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  First, the vigor and determination to bloom and fruit in high heat and other stressful growing conditions. Many zukes simply won't pollinate once the temperature climbs above 90 degrees F, and if you live in an area where that can happen even in late spring, let alone summer, your squash crop can really suffer. Partenon avoids the whole problem and sets reliably every time, with each 18-inch-high, 36-inch-wide plant setting about half a dozen fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  Second, the resistance to cucumber beetles. This is just a side benefit of Partenon's bitterfree fruit. The chemical that causes that bitterness also attracts cucumber beetles. So by having less of the chemical, Partenon not only bears sweeter fruit, it keeps the pests away!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  Third, the extended \"shelf life\" of these zucchinis. Again, it's all science. Partenon has much lower levels of ethylene, the chemical that speeds ripening (and over-ripening!). So if you pick it on schedule, you'll find that it keeps its texture and flavor longer than other varieties from your garden. Pretty cool!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  Partenon is a quick grower, setting long, slender fruit that will simply keep going if you don't pick them at 8 or 9 inches.
