An early ripening grafted butternut squash, which will mature even earlier because it's been grafted. Plants are very high yielding, giving you a really good supply throughout summer & autumn, each one a lovely buff colour, with attractive, fine-flavoured orange flesh. Plus they're one of the most versatile of all vegetables, & can be used in any way that a potato can, & stored in a frost-free place throughout winter. What's so good about grafted veg plants? We are revolutionising the home grown vegetable market with our range of grafted vegetable plants! Commercially the grafting method has been used for some time, but we've developed them for the home gardener, & early adopters have had extraordinary results: Big increases in yield from larger, more vigorous plants Earlier cropping, yet with sufficient vigour to crop well later in the season Grow in the greenhouse or outdoors
- little or no heating required Excellent resistance to soil-borne pest & diseases
- no more ring culture or grow bags
- plant straight in the soil Greater tolerance to nutritional disorders

Origin: Central America. You wont be able to resist a Kabocha squash (Japanese winter pumpkin), not only because of their cute size (immediately youll want to make little soup bowls out of their rinds), but also because they are tasty & good for you, rich in beta carotene, with a decent amount of vitamin C & iron to boot. The flesh near the rind is avocado green, giving way to a bright yellow-orange. You could roast them before you scoop out the flesh for a soup or they are delicious stuffed

Squash Plants - Honeyboat

Honeyboat has the same taste and texture as a Sweet Potato, but its easier to grow and so a good substitute for sweet potatoes.Rob says - I first found this squash in the United states, California to be exact, and as far as I know, no-one else in the UK is selling this great old variety. This squash is easier to grow, and sweeter than a butternut squash. Its more productive too. First introduced in 1894, Honeyboat can be left to crawl over the floor or trained up a frame, or wires. The fruits are super sweet with firm, deep orange flesh, the ideal size to serve 2 people. So, no half-eaten squash lurking in the fridge! Its also got its own built-in best before date, as the green stripes will disappear as the squash ages, so youll always know which to eat first. This variety will
keep you in roast squash, soup and any number of dishes all winter long, its a real keeper!
