[[Image:Yellow squash produce-1.jpg|thumb|right|240px|Yellow crookneck squash, a variety of summer squash]]
'''Summer squash''' are a subset of [[Squash (plant)|squashes]] that are harvested when immature (while the rind is still tender and edible). All summer squashes are the fruits of the species ''[[Cucurbita pepo]]'' (although not all squashes of this species are considered summer squashes). The name "summer squash" refers to the inability to store these squashes for long periods of time (until winter), unlike [[winter squash|winter squashes]].
Summer squashes include:
*Cousa squash<!--Isn't this just the Arabic name for zucchini?-->
*[[Pattypan squash]] (aka. "Scallop squash")
*[[Yellow crookneck squash]]
*[[Yellow summer squash]]
*[[Zucchini]] (Courgette)
