Squisito Spaghetti Squash (out of stock)
|
|
|
Unique spaghetti squash, with both spaghetti and delicata ancestry. The strings have an extra rich sweet flavour, owing to their delicata background. They come in a variety of rind colours; some are striped while others are yellow. All were delicious! I'd say it's more of landrace than a fully stable variety, so expect variation. 15 seeds

Paydon Acorn Squash
|
|
|
(C. pepo) Large and rare, with the most exquisite flavour! Sweeter that most other acorns. The fruits turn from a speckled tan to yellow in storage. Vigorous vines.
Grown for numerous years by Yonder Hill Farm, who have selected for earliness. Their field notes show this strain has become noticeably earlier over the years. 15 seeds

Sweet Dumpling Squash
|
|
|
(C. pepo) One of my personal favourites. Small, flattened squash (imagine a cross between delicata and acorn) produced very heavily on short vines. The sweet dry flesh reminds me of roasted chestnuts. A single squash is the perfect size for one person; I like to simply halve them and bake them. The skin is tender enough to eat too. 20 seeds

Nutterbutter Squash
|
|
|
C. moschata - Perfect small sized butternut squash! Scrumptious, rich and nutty. Developed by High Mowing Seeds, bred for reliable harvest in the Atlantic north-east and for fantastic flavour. This squash held it's ground at Twisted Brook Farm when the cucumber beetles and squash bugs arrived by the millions. Impressive. 20 seeds

Bush Delicata Squash
|
|
|
(C. pepo) A favourite at Yonder Hill. The delicious nutty flavour and edible skin makes it a great addition to stews or roasts. The green stripes on the cream coloured skin turn to orange in storage. 15 seeds

Butterbush Squash
|
|
|
(C. moschata) Extra long-necked butternut squash. Filled with rich, sweet, orange flesh. The fruit can grow to length of over 24", and the extra neck means more flesh and less seed cavity! The vines are fairly compact, not exactly a true bush squash, but less sprawling than most butternuts. 20 seeds

North Georgia Candy Roaster Squash
|
|
|
(C. maxima) These beautiful pink banana shaped squash are produced in abundance on sprawling vines. One of the sweetest winter squash we’ve ever grown, with fine, dry deep-orange flesh. Slice them across into thick rings and roast them. An heirloom from the southern Appalachians. 20 seeds
