For a fabulous autumn display

Winter Squash – Gold Nugget
Original price was: £5.99.Current price is: £4.49.
(3 Plug Plants)

A brilliant squash for growing in pots

If you love Uchiki Kuri, you’ll also love Gold Nugget, which is very similar. The main difference, aside from skin colour, is that Gold Nugget is a bush variety, meaning that the plant stays fairly compact rather than trailing. It can be planted with 80-90cm spacing, and it is a perfect option for growing in a larger container. The squashes themselves are small-medium, weighing in at around 1kg (think butternut squash kind of size, but round in shape!) and both nutty and buttery in flavour.

Number of plants: 3 plug plants

Variety: Gold Nugget (organic*)

In the kitchen: Great for roasting and using in soups, stews etc.

Winter Squash – Blue Kuri
Original price was: £5.99.Current price is: £4.49.
(3 Plug Plants)

Ripens nice and early!

If you’ve ever grown Crown Prince (which is a reasonably well known squash variety) then think of Blue Kuri as its smaller sibling. A similar grey-blue skin, deep orange flesh and good nutty qualities. It is a trailing variety and should produce several small squashes weighing around 1kg on each plant. One of its best traits is that it matures early, making it a particularly good option for anyone growing in northern areas of the country where summer might come to an end a little earlier than down here in Cornwall!

Number of plants: 3 plug plants

Variety: Blue Kuri (organic*)

In the kitchen: Roasted in chunks, whizzed up in soups, cooked up in tagines and stews

A bush variety, Bush Baby Winter Squash stays quite compact and can easily be grown in large containers.
