Description

A major improvement on the old spaghetti squash, this variety offers appealing, deep orange flesh with a sweeter flavour. Extract the 'spaghetti' flesh from each boiled fruit to experience a very unusual vegetable. Generous yields of pale orange-skinned fruits of up to 1kg (2.2lbs).

Sowing Instructions

Sowing time:April to May.
Sowing depth:1cm (½ inch)

Sow seed in 7.5cm (3 inch) pots of free draining compost. Place in a propagator or seal container inside a polythene bag and place at 20-25C (68-77F) until after germination which takes 7 to 10 days. Do not exclude light, as this helps germination.

Can also be sown direct outdoors once the soil has warmed. Sow 2 seeds every 75cm (30 inches) and thin out to the best seedling.

Growing Instructions

Gradually acclimatise plants to outdoor conditions for a few days before planting out after all risk of frost, 75cm (30 inches) apart.

Kitchen Notes

Fork out the ribbon-like flesh from the centre of the boiled fruits and serve with butter.Ideal for dinner parties.
