Squash ‘Sweet Dumpling’ (Cucurbita pepo)

Organic, open-pollinated seed. Producing small, round, striped and mottled, green and orange fruit. Flesh is creamy and tender with a sweet, nutty flavour. Suitable for roasting or stuffing

Cultivation:  Squashes are extremely vigorous growers and trailing varieties need a lot of room. Winter squashes are grown for storage. They need a rich fertile free draining soil, well manured or composted in a sheltered site as they dislike cold winds

Pests & Diseases:  Young plants need protection from slugs and snails and some plants may not set fruit in cold summers
