    This is my first season growing Sunstripe, which I grew myself from seeds I purchased at Park Seeds. I love to pick these when they're young and slice them thin to eat raw, adding them to a mixed salad of tomatoes and cucumbers and squash. Sunstripe is about the prettiest summer squash I grow. I find the taste tender and mild. I love them and will be growing them again next season.
