Sow & Grow

Sow indoors, March-May for surest results, 1.5cm (½") deep, on edge, in small pots of compost. Water well and place in a warm position. A temperature of 15-20°C (60-68°F) is ideal. Keep moist. Seedlings usually appear in 7-14 days. Gradually accustom plants to outside conditions (avoid frosts), before planting out, May-June, 90cm (3') apart, into well-drained, fertile soil, when frosts are over. Or, sow outdoors, during May for ease, where they are to crop, 1.5cm (½") deep, directly into finely-prepared, well-drained, fertile soil, which has already been watered. Allow 90cm (3') between sowing positions. Sow two seeds on edge per position. Early sowings benefit from cloche protection. Thin to leave the stronger plant. Water well until plants are established. Harvest: September-October.

Sweet dumpling squash

Have previously grown Festival squash and Harlequin squash which are very similar but the seeds have disappeared from the shelves. These look the same apart from the colour of the skin. They are very user friendly for cooking as not too big. Can fill and poach or roast with garlic and herbs or fling in casseroles or curries. Expecting them to grow well like the Festival did.
