Sowing periods
A popular English heirloom variety that has a compact bush, is early to mature and heavy yielding. These attractive striped fruits can be cut at 10-15cm (like zucchini) or left to ‘size up’ as marrows. Excellent eating when freshly picked and lightly cooked, or suitable for short autumn storage. 10 seeds.
A South African favourite!! These bushes are hugely productive, yielding up to over 20 cricket ball sized fruit. A versatile squash in the sense that it can be harvested in summer and used like a zucchini (sweet and tender); or harvest in autumn when the skin toughens to store through winter & use like a pumpkin (roasted or stuffed). Boil, bake or steam – delicious with butter. 20 seeds.
