the only issue I have is they are all f1's so saving seed isn't really an option?

Clarky, do you mean small plant size or fruit size?

Jim, you can pick almost any summer squash at a small size, if you like. I generally pick them no more than 6-8" in length. I pick patty pans at no more than 6" diam when possible (when I see them).

My current favorite summers are Raven, Zephyr, Gold Rush and White Patty Pan. Costata Romansco is a great tasting summer squash, but has a low yield on a huge plant for me.

I've never grown those round types, but they look pretty cool to try....
