Cultural Notes:

• Prolific producers through summer, the more they are harvested the more they produce. Plant once clear of the last frost.
• To get an early start it is best to pre-sprout seed indoors or sow in cells/punnets as seed will struggle to germinate in soils less than 17ºC. Once up the do not mind cool weather but try to ensure your last frost has passed.

Problems:

• A cool and moist spring and autumn will see downy mildew set in.

Harvest:

• Harvest young, small squash as this is when thy taste best. Flowers can also be used in cooking.
