Squash 'Uchiki Kuri'

Description

Also called Red Kuri or onion squash, is a very reliable variety of winter squash. It produces orange to red coloured pear shaped fruits that closely resemble a mini pumpkin without the ridges. It has a hard outer skin and firm yellow flesh with a delicious nutty flavour. Stores very well.

Sow from the middle of April until late May. Sow each seed into an individual small pot or large module and plant out after hardening off (approx 6 weeks). Use a cloche or cold frame to begin with.

Space 1.2m (47.24) between plants.
