& Squash Summer Patty Pans Mix F1 1 Seed Packet

Grow and harvest your own delicious patty pans! This colourful mix of patty pan squashes includes the varieties 'Twinkle F1', 'Kermit F1' and 'Polo'. These versatile squashes can be picked at different stages depending on how they are to be cooked – golf ball sized Patty Pans are tender and soft skinned enough to eat whole and raw, larger 7cm fruits can be steamed or sliced for stir fries and mature squashes can be stuffed or baked for a delicious light lunch. Squash 'Summer Mix' bears prolific crops that can be harvested from June to October, with mature fruits storing well. Bushy plants produce long, spiny stems bearing plenty of scalloped fruits if harvested regularly.Sow seeds April to May indoors 3-4 weeks before last spring frost. Sow seeds 1cm (1/2") deep, in pots of moist seed sowing mix. Place in a propagator or warm place and keep at a constant temperature of between 20-25°C (68-77°F). After sowing, do not exclude light as this helps germination. Keep the surface of the seed sowing mix moist but not waterlogged; germination will usually take 5-7 days. Can also be sown direct outdoors once the soil has warmed and all risk of frost has passed. When at the 2-leaf stage, transplant seedlings on into 13cm (5in) pots for a few weeks before planting out, 60cm (24in) apart in a sunny sheltered spot on rich, well-drained soil.Product specifications:Position: Full Sun.
