Early maturing, high yields of good sized sweet squashes with an orange/gold flesh which store well.
Description
This plant will literally take over your garden if it could, so it will need some training. But you will be rewarded with early maturing, high yields of good-sized sweet squashes with deep orange flesh, they have a small seed cavity so there will be little waste, and they will store well over a long period. 

Harvest

September to October when the skin is thick, and the stem has dried out. They can be picked when young.

Growing Instructions

Plant 100cm apart in well drained soil in a sunny but sheltered position. They take up a lot of space so a good place would be to run along a wall/fence or even on your compost heap out of the way, I have known people to train them along a trellis and support the fruits with a net when they arrive. They do prefer heat so keep that in mind when you are planting. Once the plant has got 5-7 leaves, pick the tips off the plant, which will encourage the fruits to grow. Feed only once you see 2 or more fruits growing not before.
