Squash - Summer - Pattypan Scallop Blend
Plant in the spring, 2 to 4 weeks after the last average frost date. The Scallop Blend includes, 'Peter Pan', an All America winner with incredible yields and adaptability, 'Sunburst', another All America winner that tastes as if it was soaked in butter, and 'Early White', and Heirloom from the early 1700's. Squash prefers well drained, rich soil with lots of organic matter. The Squash Summer Scallop Blend, 'Cucurbita pepo (Hybrid)', has a slightly spicier, nuttier flavor than other summer squashes. Harvest as soon as squash reaches 3 to 4 inches in diameter. We have chosen not just any blend of different colored patttypan squash, we have chosen the best. ... more information

Plant in early spring, 2 to 4 weeks before last frost or as late as 2 months before first fall frost. The leaves can be harvested from late spring continuing all the way to the first frost. In warm climates, plant in late summer for fall/winter crop. instead of growing beets, the plant grows wide, dark green, heavily crumpled leaves that are very tasty. The Swiss Chard Fordhook Giant, 'Beta vulgaris', will grow in heat and cold, is nutritious, and has a long harvest period. |
