Many shapes, sizes and colours. Easy to grow. 6 Varieties (8 seeds each). Includes: Black Beauty, De Nice a fruit rond, Golden Zucchini, Lebanese,Patty Pan and Yellow Scallop.

When to plant: Spring to Summer.
How to grow: Sow Spring to Summer, 12mm deep direct in final position. Sow 3-4 seeds in clumps, later thinning to the two strongest seedlings. Allow 100cm between rows and space plants 90cm apart. Keep the plants well watered and prepare the soil well by adding organic material and a complete fertiliser. For early crops, sow seeds in punnets or trays and plant out when strong enough. Seedlings emerge 6-10 days. Pick regularly when fruits are young and tender as this also encourages plants to continue cropping throughout the season.
Harvest: 8-10 weeks.
