Squash Stripetti Spaghetti F1

£1.25 / pack(s)

Stripetti Spaghetti are a cross between Delicata and Pumpkin, full of flavour and after harvest can be enjoyed through to the new year.  The Delicata parentage brings extra sweetness to the fruits. They produce attractive striped fruit, green and creamy yellow, which are ready when 15-25cm long.  Allow to fully mature (14 weeks) before harvesting for storage alternatively pick from 10 weeks for use straight away. Price for 3 seeds

SOW: late April to the end of May, start 1 seed per pot or module.  Keep moist but not waterlogged. Harden off & plant out in June in a sunny spot with lots of compost. 

GROW: Stripetti Spaghetti are a semi bush variety so they will vine but these are easy to control by training them around in a circle so allow about 100cm between plants.  Fruits are ready when 15-25cm long.  Allow to fully mature (14 weeks) before harvesting for storage alternatively pick from 10 weeks for use straight away

EAT: the fruits can reach 2kg and, after cooking (roast or steam), the flesh resembles bright yellow spaghetti and can be served as a veggie alternative to pasta with sweet nutty flavours. Stored fruit can last to the new year for an autumn and early winter of deliciousness.
