Squash 'Tromboncino' Seeds

Plant Information:

Cucurbita pepo

Sow: April to May
Harvest: July to September
Height: 1.5m+

Wonderful long courgettes/squashes that can be left to develop on the plant and will grow to well over a metre long. This is a climbing variety that can reach heights of over 2 metres in a polytunnel.

Can be used as courgettes when young and small or as an autumn squash when fully grown.

Sowing instructions: 

Sow two seeds in a 7cm pot and then thin to the stongest seedling when true leaves appear. Sow the seeds on their side to reduce the risk of rotting. 

Seeds germinate in 7-14 days.

Growing instructions:

Grow plants on and plant out when all risk of frost has passed. Courgettes like a lot of heat and a nutrient rich soil, so plant where they will receive full sun and feed regularly with a balanced fertiliser. 

Notes:

These plants can get big. Be warned!
