Details
One pot of each of the below.<br /><br /><span><strong>Squash - F1 Crown Prince</strong><br />A grey/blue squash with orange flesh will make a stunning addition to any garden. Weighing in a a good 3-4kilo with a sweet, rich, nutty flavour, and the fruits are round and flat in shape and they will store well over a long period. <br /></span><strong>Growing Instructions</strong><br /><span>Plant 100cm apart in well drained soil in a sunny but sheltered position. They take up a lot of space so a good place would be to run along a wall/fence or even on your compost heap out of the way, I have known people to train them along a trellis and support the fruits with a net when they arrive. They do prefer heat so keep that in mind when you are planting. Once the plant has got 5-7 leaves, pick the tips off the plant, which will encourage the fruits to grow. Feed only once you see 2 or more fruits growing not before.</span><br /><br /><strong>Mini Squash - Sunbeam</strong><br /><span>This squash produces a mass of little bright yellow mini flat lanterns or flying saucer shape, they have a nutty flavour with a firmer bite than a courgette, they can be pickled or cooked. Very easy to grow, treat as you would grow a courgette.<br /><strong>Growing Instructions</strong><br />Plant 90cm apart in well drained soil in a sunny but sheltered spot. Keep well watered until established and in dry weather. Can be grown in a pot on your patio or even amongst your flower bed, where they wont look out of place.<br /><br /></span><strong>Butternut Squash - Hunter</strong><br /><strong>Description</strong><br /><span>This plant will literally take over your garden if it could, so it will need some training. But you will be rewarded with early maturing, high yields of good-sized sweet squashes with deep orange flesh, they have a small seed cavity so there will be little waste, and they will store well over a long period. </span><br /><strong>Growing Instructions</strong><br /><span>Plant 100cm apart in well drained soil in a sunny but sheltered position.
