However, many vendors are ready to sell at 1pm. The Market will continue on
Tuesday's through September 29th at the corner of  Hemlock and E. Gower in
the City Hall parking lot. *Gales Meadow Farm*  has Tromboncino, also known
as zucchetta. It is a summer squash of the species *Cucurbita moschata*,
the same species as Butternut winter squash. It is an heirloom originating
in Liguria and is very dense with substantial flavor. Tromoncino is more
buttery and slightly sweeter than zucchini. The long neck has no seeds and
can be cut into uniform round slices or long ribbons. Trombonicini are
generally 2-4 pounds each. *Gales Meadow* usually brings between 15 – 25
pounds a week. They would love to grow more if it caught on as it deserves
to.
