An old favourite heirloom, exclusive to She Grows Veg in the UK, this is one of the oldest types of squash dating back to pre-Columbus times, and it has been popular ever since. Its bulbous bottom, swan neck and nobbly skin make it very striking and refreshingly different from your average courgette!
This is a prolific grower and can be grown vertically over an arch.
Easy to grow and delicious cooked in soups or roasted. We also love this one in cut into beautiful discs and grilled on the BBQ during the summer.
Average 10 seeds.

Courgettes are very fast growing and will quickly become large plants, so do not be tempted to start too early. Sow courgette seeds 1.5cm deep in small pots filled with peat free multipurpose compost. Sow the seeds on their side, if laid flat, water can sit on top of the seed and cause it to rot before germinating. Keep at a temperature of 20-25 C until after germination, which usually takes 7-10 days. Do not exclude light as this helps germination.
Plant out after all risk of frost has passed into a sunny position. Keep well watered to avoid issues with powdery mildew. Keep harvesting fruit regularly before it gets too large to encourage more fruit to set. The more you pick the more you get.
