About this product
Visually attractive mix of summer squash producing green, yellow and creamy pale-green, oval-shaped squash on bushy plants with an open habit and reduced-spined stems for easier harvesting. Fruits are less watery and have firmer flesh than many other squash and courgette varieties which means they lend themselves well to slicing and grilling. Their taste is also much richer than other varieties.
Sow seed 2cm (¾in) deep in 7.5cm (3in) pots of good seed compost. Place in a propagator or seal container inside a polythene bag and place at 21-25°C (70-77°F) until after germination which takes 5-7 days. Can also be sown direct outdoors from mid-May once the soil has warmed and risk of frost has passed, 2.5cm (1in) deep at 75cm (30in) apart in rows 75cm (30in) apart.
Gradually acclimatise plants to outdoor conditions for a few days before planting out after all risk of frost has passed, 75cm (30in) apart each way. Feed with potash fertiliser once fruiting begins. Water and pick fruits regularly to extend the harvesting season.
SERVING SUGGESTION: For barbecues, stir fries, stuffing and baking.
