    I may give up on this one. I've grown this scalloped variety at least three times now, seeds from various vendors, and every time they all turn out to be a smooth pale green. Unlike the pictures which always show them to be various colors and often two toned. Nope, just pale green. But they do produce well and taste pretty good.
