Dixie is a yellow summer crookneck  hybrid that is early, highly productive, and vigorous. Fruits are a shiny lemon yellow, uniform, and tastiest when 4 to 6 inches long. It has smooth skin, unlike other yellow crookneck varieties. Very flavorful and tender. Great freezing and canning variety. Best when harvested when 6" long. An excellent choice for home gardens and market growers.
