Ready when they are grape sized & still firm to the touch. Latin Name: Melothria scabra. Cucamelons can be used in just the same way as traditional cucumbers; in salads, pickled, whole, or why not explore their cocktail-enhancing prowess & give your Martini a delicious new twist! 3 Super Plug Plants Squash Tromboncino
- James says
- Wacky Italian cultivar with lovely, mild artichoke flavour & a long neck thats 100% free of seeds. Actually a variety of butternut squash, picked while still tender & green. As well as looking incredibly ornamental in the garden, its big benefit in the kitchen is that it tastes sweeter than most regular courgettes. Harvest July-September. 3 Super Plug Plants. Pepper Habanero Red
- Exceptionally hot red chilli. Strong productive plant ideal for pots & containers on a sunny patio or conservtory. 2 Super Plug Plants. Squash Patty Pan Yellow Sunburst
- James says
- Probably my favourite summer squash, they have a nutty flavour & melt in the mouth texture. Known affectionately in the States as UFO squash because of their quirky flying-saucer shape. Pick when no more than 5cm across, then steam whole & douse in olive oil & garlic. They have a nutty flavour & melt-in-the-mouth texture. They have a firmer bite than most courgettes with no hint of wateriness. Harvest July-September. 2 Super Plug Plants.
