Winter Squash – Gold Nugget
£5.99
(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
£5.99
(3 Plug Plants)Ripens nice and early!

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!

You’ll probably get 3 or 4 fruits per plant, but they’ll grow quite large for a bush plant, especially if you give the plants a fortnightly liquid feed once it starts fruiting.
