In looks Jester is reminiscent of a Galia Melon with its creamy skin and green stripes but this is a fabulous Acorn squash.  It is the perfect size for a 2 person meal with a really delightful sweet nutty flavour.  It does vine and can produce 5-7 squashes per plant.  A great choice.  Price for 3 seeds

This is a must try, how can you resist a name like this combined with yellow-orange firm flesh (that is not stringy) hidden under the pink skin. Its sweet flavour makes it an excellent choice for pies and baking. Each fruit can grow to 50cm or more in good conditions. Great fun, an abundant and enthusiastic plant, you can keep it well behaved by growing any vining shoots around in a circle.

Produces a large number a small fruits (up to 200g) with pale cream striped skin and creamy white flesh. They are ideal for stuffing and baking whole, allow 1 per person. Good flavour and will keep well. 

A dark green patty pan variety featuring pale flecks on the skin and pure white flesh. It has a lovely flavour and texture and is suitable for both baby and standard sized fruits. These are perfect company for Moonbeam and Sunbeam

Dare I say this? Even if you never intend to eat a squash you should grow Turks Turban just for the fun of it... and when this multicoloured and curiously shaped fruit has taken shape you just might be tempted to see what it is like when you cook it!  At this point you will discover a hidden gem with a great flavour tending towards hazelnut, delicious and perfect for stuffing or cooking whole. 

This is a unique plant producing large fruits which can be baked (for 40-50 minutes) or boiled whole. Then you can fork out the flesh which resembles spaghetti (hence the name) and can be used as a substitute for pasta, yummy!  Serve with a sauce, butter or even chilled in a salad. 

British bred Walnut F1 is a beauty: grow this for reliable, early, and tasty butternuts.  This variety thrives in our mixed weather and the early maturity means that it is suitable for more northerly gardens too. Each plant can produce half a dozen fruits, averaging 1kg each, these store very well to give you butternuts right through until springtime.  Price for 3 seeds

Did you know that you can harvest these young and peel with a knife or potato peeler OR, for storage through the winter, harvest in late summer or early autumn & leave outdoors for about 14 days to harden the skin (protect from frost) or ripen in a greenhouse (these are more difficult to cut into!)  Bake, roast or stir fry, use in soups or sweet pies.  Very versatile & tasty
