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

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

One of the most delicious winter squash to be had, its thick orange flesh is perfect for roasting or for pies. Sweet and fine textured. Excellent keepers too.
