Black Beauty Summer Squash is a widely popular variety prized for its glossy, dark green fruit and exceptional flavor. Each squash grows to about 6-8 inches long, with tender skin and creamy, mild flesh that is perfect for roasting, grilling, sautéing, or adding to soups and casseroles. Thriving in full sun and rich, well-draining soil, Black Beauty matures in 50-55 days and produces prolifically throughout the summer. Regular harvesting ensures the best flavor and encourages the plant to produce even more fruit. The compact, bushy plants are easy to grow and ideal for garden beds, raised beds, or containers. Black Beauty’s versatility in the kitchen makes it a staple for summer meals, while its high yields make it a favorite for home gardeners and market growers. Resistant to common squash diseases and easy to maintain, this variety delivers a reliable harvest of flavorful, tender fruit. Whether you’re a seasoned cook or a novice gardener, Black Beauty Summer Squash is a must-have for its combination of taste, productivity, and adaptability.

There are very few products out there that you buy once and it will keep on serving you. These can be reused year after year instead of ending up in the garbage can or landfill, so good for you and good for the environment. You pay a little more, but you save over time. I am absolutely sold on Bootstrap products.
What I like about the kit is that the plastic trays and dome are made of a very sturdy material, not like the flimsy trays I have used in the past. It was difficult to move full trays when they were not rigid. These trays are quite rigid and I think will make moving them much easier. They also seem like they will hold up longer with normal usage.
It was convenient to get everything I needed for a small seed starting in one package and I didn't have to search around for all the parts. It has the mesh bottom insert that seems to be necessary for use with soil blocking, so that was a big plus to me.
I am going to try the soil blocking, so I'm excited to try the blocker. Just getting everything set up now. However, the blocker seems to be in good working order even though I haven't actually used it yet.
One thing I think would improve the website is mentioning in the item description that the plastic is much sturdier than ones mostly seen in the stores. I wasn't quite sure that it was the sturdier version, but I decided to take a chance. Just making that clearer in the description would have been helpful. (i.e. "these trays and domes aren't the flimsy version you find in most stores!") I am sure people more used to using greenhouse products know that, but people new to that might not.
