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.

Cucurbita moschate An unusual ‘pumpkin’ in that it’s delicious while still young, picked and eaten like a squash or zucchini. Allowed to mature the skin hardens then Tromboccini should be eaten like a pumpkin. Not as sweet as some it still has great flavour and texture. When baked we added herbs and spices which it absorbed beautifully. Great watching the vines spread either on ground where squashes will ‘curl’ or on fence lines where squashes will hang straight.

Cucurbita moschata Pear shaped pumpkin with pale orange skin, deep orange flesh and small seed cavity. Up to 3kg it’s an ideal size for family's and cooks up any way perfectly. Really good flavour and known through out the world now by many names. Only a reasonable storer compared to others, meaning it will get through winter but no more.

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.

Lactuca sativa var. asparagine Also known as asparagus lettuce or celery lettuce amongst other things as this one is often grown for its thick stem which has a unique sweet flavour and is used after side picking the tender leaves. Note the leaves can be steamed and better grown in semi shade when hot to guarantee softer leaves for salads.
