Sunbeam Squash
A fun, easy-to-grow squash producing a mass of bright yellow, mini flat lantern or flying saucer-shaped fruits. Sweet, nutty flavour with a firmer bite than a courgette — perfect for pickling or cooking straight from the garden.
Harvest
Pick once fruits reach 3–5cm. Keep harvesting to encourage continuous production all season.
Growing Instructions
• Planting: 90cm apart in well-drained soil.
• Position: Sunny, sheltered spot; can grow in a pot, on a patio, or even in a flower bed.
• Watering: Keep soil moist until plants are established and during dry spells.
• Care: Treat like a courgette — regular picking encourages more fruits.
Top Tips
• Frequent Harvesting: Picking regularly boosts ongoing fruit production.
• Space Wisely: They need room to spread, so give each plant plenty of space.
• Flexible Growing: Great in beds, containers, or decorative garden spots.
• Moist Soil: Consistent watering ensures tender, tasty fruits.
