BUYERS NOTES
One of the sweetest squash varieties available. Cylindrical-shaped fruits have a pale tan skin with green stripes which fade once the fruit has ripened. Orange flesh. Fruits average 15-20cm (6-8in) in length and 500-600g (1-1¼lbs) in weight. Bake in the skin, which is edible when cooked, or cut the rich orange flesh into chunks for roasting. Peel if steaming for mash.
Sowing Information:
Sow seed 2cm (in) deep in 7.5cm (3in) pots of good seed compost at 21-25°C (70-77°F). Place in a propagator or seal container in a polythene bag until after germination. Can also be sown direct outdoors once the soil has warmed. Do not sow in cold soils. Sow 2 seeds every 1.2m (4ft) and thin out to the best seedling. Ideally grow under cloches until the plant is established.
