Despite the famous book title, ‘Black Beauty’ isn’t about horses here, it’s about a seriously reliable summer squash that earns its spot in the veggie patch. This heirloom zucchini is prized for its creamy flesh and dark green skin and it’s known for being hardy, productive and an early fruiter. Even better, it keeps going, you can expect it to continue producing for many months. 

And if you’ve never cooked zucchini flowers, this is your sign. The flowers are a culinary favourite and are often cut and stuffed (fancy enough to impress, easy enough to actually do).
