Cucurbita pepo This is a remarkable pumpkin? squash? whatever you'd like to call it. Large vine producing round green golden stripey fruit that ripens like most pumpkins, leaving them to mature on vine. Finally once opened there's the gift of sweet golden squash like flesh (great for soups) and delicious fresh pepita's which are so good for you. Plant needs lots of room and sun to prosper.

Out of stockCucurbita maxima An old heirloom that has brought back a lot of memories from some of our customers, of mum using the axe to get the first cut. When first picked the skin is quite thin and will thicken as its stores, which it does well.

Out of stockMirabilis jalapa Also known as 4 o’clocks and Marvel of Peru. Originally from South America Mirabella has naturalised all over the world. After going dormant in winter expect new growth from deep large established tubers in early spring. Then a delightful display of beautiful variegated flowers spring to through to summer. Needing little attention and being drought hardy you tend to forget they’re there till next spring. It’s a great surprise. Plant by seed in early spring germinating at 13-18C or by division of tubers in spring. Grows 1 metre high by 1 metre wide and is a hardy perennial. Can make a good container plant with enough care. Save seeds in summer which are dark 5m ovals with pointy ends which are easy to see and pick and have replaced the flowers. Keep in open paper bags in cool dry space till all moisture has been released.
