  • To ensure the best germination, the temperature must be at least 20C. Sow the seed point-side down 1.5cm deep in small pots in peat-free compost. Plant outdoors 90cm apart from late May to avoid frosts.

    Sow indoors: April to early June

    Plant outdoors: Late May to July

    Harvesting time: September to October

  • This squash has a fantastic nutty hazelnut flavour. It is ideal for stuffing. It can also be used in soups, stews or curries.

    To add some drama to your winter cooking, we love stuffing this squash with various ingredients like mince, rice and lentils and serving it in the middle of the table.
